Re: Adjusting slotted rear sights

I didn't mean to start a fracass with my original post, just passing along some info I thought might help others. I do have a brass drift but it leaves marks on black finish. Wood, plastic or the recommended glue stick would be the better solution. I am glad to see there are others that are as picky...

Re: Adjusting slotted rear sights

You both bring up very good points and I appreciate your input. However, my main reason for posting was to introduce the use of the glue stick as a drift for moving a sight without the possibility of marring the finish. At 18 feet, using a rest, I got tight groups of 13 rounds about 2 1/2 to 3 inche...

Adjusting slotted rear sights

I have a new Beretta PX4 9mm subcompact that is shooting a little to the left, elevation is right on. I was a little reluctant to start beating on my new baby for fear of jacking somehting up or marring the finish. I have a gunsmith friend that would do it for me, but, he is a ways away. When I call...

Re: Beretta PX4 9mm sub, Crossbreed Supertuck

Ok gang, I made it to the range today......one word, impressive. I put over 200 rounds through the weapon with the only hiccup being a failure of the slide to lock open after a last round. This only happened once, about midway through the shooting. I was firing Wally World cheapo Federal ball ammo a...

Re: Beretta PX4 9mm sub, Crossbreed Supertuck

I'm incredibly happy with my fullsized .40 PX4... kinda thinking about getting a SubCompact one for those days when I want to be a little lower profile (but not carrying just a 5-shot revolver). Anyone know if my Crossbreed for my big PX4 would fit a SC model as well? I can tell you that the Supert...

Re: Beretta PX4 9mm sub, Crossbreed Supertuck

Thank you for the 'welcome', gentlemen and, yes, I knew about Ms. Lambert being from Lindale, but, didn't know about the family.....interesting. Didn't make it to the range today and probably won't make it tomorrow due to dr.'s appointments. I may be able to get there Friday, if so, I will provide a...

Beretta PX4 9mm sub, Crossbreed Supertuck

Hello Gentlemen, Yesterday I traded some old guns for a Beretta PX4 9mm sub compact. About two months ago I purchased a Ruger SR9C 9mm. There is little difference in the physical size, the most notable being an overall shorter slide on the PX4. The staggered magazine on the Beretta makes for a littl...

Re: Reload dependability

Grizz, once again, I thank you for your candid response. I have been doing a lot of internet studying of the different systems, finding both good and bad about every one. I can say that the Lee and Dillon seem to have the least amount of negative remarks. There just hasn't been that much in the way ...

Re: Reload dependability

Very good info, Grizz. Thank you for your time and effort. Your methods make a lot of sense for assuring dependability. May I inquire about what reloading equipment you prefer? Have you any experience or opinions on the Hornady Lock n Load AP equipment?

Thank you, Sir.

Re: Reload dependability

Thank you, gentlemen. You have confirmed my suspicions and given me another reason to delve into reloading. Now to make up my mind between the Dillon 550 and the Hornady L&L AP.......any opinions?

Reload dependability

I have often been told and heard that one should not use reloads for situations that require utmost dependability. It seems that, with proper attention to detail and the use of quality components, a reload should not suffer dependability. What am I missing?

Re: Cost of reloading.........?

Dang, 'Irons! Your Walmart is waaaay different on prices than mine!! After you mentioned the price of .45's, I just had to go look at a recent receipt to make sure I wasn't dreaming. On March 18th, I purchased (what I thought was) 3 boxes of 9mm and 3 boxes of .45's (turns out they slipped a box of ...
