Re: Cracked Forcing Cone

Gary,
Given the history of this Model 19, if it were mine I would have a custom barrel installed. You would gain many more years of service for you and the next generation of Garydudes.

Re: Slide Stop a PITA to reinsert

I use a thin guitar pick between the SS and plunger. Works great and keeps you from idiot marks if you will refrain from rotating the pin up from the bottom.

Re: Carry Options For Smith 642

The gun looks no different than a wallet in a Mika's pocket holster; it does not print like a leather holster. I respectfully disagree... A S&W M642 is a perfect pocket gun.

Re: Case headstamp

I have a box of Browning .357 Magnum cartridges that I believe was manufactured in the 1970s. I just took a look at the box in hopes there would be a date on the tax stamp but no such luck.

Re: Reloading .270 Win Power Points

I use a 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip over 51.0gr IMR 4350. This is my hunting load and it gives me 1/2" groups in my Savage 110. IMR 4350 is a very popular powder for .270 Winchester loads.

Re: Opinions - Hogue Exotic Hardwood Finger groove grips

If you like them, go for it. The grips are nice looking, have you had the opportunity to try them?

Personalization is one of the many things I love about 1911s; they truly become "our" guns.
