Re: Making peace with the 9mm

My one and only 9mm in a Ruger 1911 SR9, light weight, shoots everything it gets fed, has never failed, not once. Best Ruger I've ever had. It's also very accurate. Safe to say it's my favorite 1911 after my old Colt 1991A1. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7...

Re: I was in Fredricksburg yesterday and stopped in to see the new Cimarron guns

The thing wrong with 45Colt in a Winchester 92 is that it never was, and shouldn't be. My opinion of course. And Modeling a JW Carbine with a 20" barrel is just a regular ol carbine with a big loop. I love JW, but if your going to model a carbine after his, do it right, like the real one.

The 76 receiver is not long enough for the 45/70, so they simply shortened it to a bottle neck round. Bullets much heavier than 375 grains don't stabilize well and will keyhole.
