What’s Inside:Ijust finished setting up my new Dillon

Super Swage 600 and ran 200 mili-tary .308 cases through this tool. What apleasure to use, and I was amazed on howquickly I completed this unpleasant chore. I’vebeen reloading for over 30 years and hate tothink of how many hours I’ve wasteddoing removing the GIcrimps by hand. The SuperSwage 600 is a greattool...keep up the great workDillon Precision!

Igreatly enjoy reading the articles found in The BluePress and have several times started to write but never

seemed to finish and send. However, reading the write-up on the Rex Zero 1 by Peter Caroline I couldn’t helpbut notice a problem he and most likely a great manypeople have: small hands. It is really nice to have a dou-ble-stack magazine that holds a box of 50 shells, but thatrequires us small-handed folks to wrap both handsaround the grip and use a finger extension to reach thetrigger. Anyway, thank you Mr. Caroline for mentioningus small-handed shooters. I will add here that it was awrite in about a mishap with .45 ACP cases that havesmall primer pockets that alerted me to check my brass.Thank you for great stories and the reloader alerts.

James Newill (a 550B user) – [email protected]

Ialways look forwardto the monthly copy

of The Blue Press.Among other reasonsare the interestingfirearms you feature.The January editionshowcased the PPS43-C, which is a great addition to any collection. The7.62x25 is a great, flat-shooting round that really humsalong. I found that it isn’t that easy to sight, even with asling. Hence, I obtained a picatinny rail and purchased aCrimson Trace green laser. Holding the weapon securelyand placing the green dot on the target really enhancesthe accuracy and fun.

By Peter CarolineI’m one of those people who have to make

lists before hitting the road. Prior to any trip, Imake a detailed list of clothing, guns, ammo,accessories and even snacks for the trip. And justas important…GPS, radar detector, a full tank ofgas and an empty bladder. The distance to Gun-site from Green Valley, AZ is 247 miles, whichshould take four hours, barring any Sunday trafficjams and accidents. Thankfully, I did not take partin the latter. I checked in at the DaysInn in Chino Valley shortly after 1:00p.m., and headed up the road for alate lunch at Danny B’s, where theyserve generous drinks and excellentfish & chips.

Later in the afternoon, I found myway to Rob Leahy’s Simply RuggedHolsters shop where he was hosting ameet-and-greet for 20-some membersof the gun writing profession. In keep-ing with the company name, the roadwas…simply rugged. The food wasplentiful, and adult beverages wereprovided. We got the shop tour andchecked out all the fancy equipmentRob and his crew use to performleather magic.

The next morning, at 7:30, we started assem-bling in the classroom at Gunsite, filling out all theusual legal releases and, more important, selectingour lunch choices for the next three days. Weviewed several tables covered with our sponsors’products…Simply Rugged Holsters, Ruger, Repub-lic Forge, Tyler Gunworks, Lipsey’s Guns, SkinnerSights and DoubleTap Ammo. After partaking ofall this sensory overload, we were invited to head

for the range and put these treasures to work. Westarted with an exercise that involved learning theproper sequence of draw positions, and shootingat Gunsite’s totally disorienting camo silhouettetargets from varying distances. All ammo was sup-plied gratis by DoubleTap. We had a tour of theFun House, where one is challenged with a seriesof room entries, recognizing possible threats andresponding appropriately (i.e. attempting to avoidshooting hostages, etc.). After a satisfying catered

lunch, we were back on the ranges formore shooting. The range safety proce-dures at Gunsite are truly impressive,and consistently maintained. Gunsite’ssafety rules are conspicuously postedwherever you go, and instructors watchyour every move. This constant obser-vation is actually quite reassuring, andcorrective comments are offered in apolite and friendly manner…not at allreminiscent of boot camp.

Dinner that evening was at Murphy’sSteakhouse, an elegant 19th centuryestablishment in downtown Prescott.We had our own upstairs dining room.I opted for an escargot appetizer, fol-lowed by lightly seared Ahi tuna, and

both were excellent. I reached for my wallet at theend of the meal, and was told that Ruger was foot-ing the whole bill. Thank you, Brandon Trevino!

On Tuesday morning, we assembled in theclassroom again and then proceeded to the NorthRange, where we split into different groups for theFun House and the Donga. “Donga” is theAfrikaans word for ditch. You stumble through arocky gully and engage steel silhouette targets atunannounced locations, and attempt to knock

them down while presumably avoiding hittinghostage-designated targets. Dandy fun! At theNorth Range, there was an impressive display ofnew and custom guns from Republic Forge, TylerGun Works, Ruger and Skinner Sights. In additionto sights, Skinner also offers some very nice shoot-ing accessories and a unique selection of cus-tomized lever-action rifles. Later in the afternoon,when we’d had a chance to clean up a bit, weformed our vehicles into a caravan and drove upthe hill to Gunsite owners Buz andSonja Mills’ castle (yes, a real cas-tle!) for cocktails and horsd’ouevres. There was a generousarray of treats and beverages, plusa genuine tripod-mounted brassGatling gun that somehow blendedsubtly into the overall décor (don’ttry this at home). It was a beautifulsetting and a grand evening, thanksto our gracious hosts.

Wednesday turned out to besomewhat of a do-what-you-wantday. Normally, during the regularlyscheduled Gunsite 5-day classes,students happily adhere to a rigidschedule. They’ve paid severalthousand dollars for the class, the ammo, plustravel expenses, lodging and meals, and they wantto get the full benefit of the Gunsite experience.gun writers, on the other hand, are getting theinstruction, the ammo and meals at the expense ofthe sponsors. They also are among the last of theindependent operators, and tend to resist anyattempt at organization; trying to keep them insome semblance of order is a task on a par withherding cats. Ed Head, Gunsite’s genial Chief

Instructor, has the patience of a saint and deserveshigh marks for his efforts. That said, I spent most ofWednesday trying out a number of guns that inter-ested me, including some incredibly craftedRepublic Forge custom 1911s and some of BobbyTyler’s engraved and/or color casehardened worksof art. One gun that really rang my chimes was atakedown .44 Magnum/.44 Special lever-actioncarbine that included a case with a matching-numbered hunting knife and a small survival kit.

It‘s imported from Italy by SkinnerSights and is fitted with a Skinneraperture rear sight and red fiberoptic front, a combination thatoffers a sight picture resembling aminiature red-dot. The gun is anabsolute delight to shoot. Later inthe day, I was privileged to spendsome time chatting with Sheriff JimWilson, a gentleman of the oldschool, with a refreshingly realisticview of the world.

Our final activity at Gunsite wasa very satisfying barbecue dinnerwith all the fixings, then back tothe Days Inn, where I met up witha number of old and new friends

for late drinks, and then to bed. It just doesn’t getany better than that.

Dillon’s RL 550 has long worn the title of “TheWorld’s Most Versatile Progressive Reloader,” and

stripping it down to its most basic form – Dillon’s BL(Basic Loader) 550 – adds a whole new dimension ofversatility for the shooter/hunter who needs to feedseveral rifles.

The BL 550 is essentially an RL 550 without the auto-matic priming and powder systems. Capable of loadingover 160 calibers – just like the RL 550 – it uses anymanufacturer’s standard 7/8” x 14 reloading dies. It’spriced comparably with other manufacturers’ turretpresses; yet unlike them, it’s fully upgradeable to Dillon’sProgressive RL 550 loader!

The interchangeable toolhead (Page 15) makes itquick, easy and inexpensive to change calibers. Forexample, if you load .30-06 for elk, .243 for deer and.22-250 for coyotes, you don’t even have to change theshellplate. You simply pull two pins and swap the tool-head with your .30-06 dies to another toolhead withyour .22-250 or .243 dies in less than 30 seconds! Theadditional toolheads are $26.95 each, or $24.95 each ifyou buy three or more – if you load for several rifles it’s ano-brainer! Once you get your dies adjusted, you’llnever have to re-set them.

A powder measure adapter (bottom right photo) isavailable if you want to use a manual measure that youalready own. Or, if you want to weigh every powdercharge you load, it’s easy – you can use a powder trick-ler with the powder die/funnel assembly that comeswith the BL 550.

CV-2001 – The Industry Standard Dillon’s CV-2001 Vibratory Case Cleaner is one of

the largest in the industry. Its 12-1/2 quart bowl capacitywill allow you to polish up to 1,300 .38/.357 or 550.30-06 cases per hour.

Not only is our capacity greater than most, but ourmotor is also larger in horsepower, internally cooled,thermally protected, and turns on precision ball bear-ings. This is no “hobby” machine!

The bowl and base are constructed of 7/32” thickinjection molded high-strength polypropylene which isimpact and abrasion resistant.

Case/Media SeparatorsAfter we sold thousands of our famous first genera-

tion FL-2000 case cleaners, customers who had pur-chased them began asking us to address the problem ofseparating the cleaned and polished brass from thecleaning media.

We knew from the beginning that the simplestmethod of separating would be a rotating squirrel cage,but we had to find a design we could manufacture eco-nomically. Our problem was that it had to be BIG – bigenough to handle the entire load of the FL-2000 seriescase cleaners.

The solution was an injection molded reversible part.Simple, and it works great. Ourdevice is large, 10” x 14”, and willhold more than 1,600 .38 Specialcases. It sits on a large media col-lection tub that measures 18” x 22”.The tub keeps the mess off the floorand bench.

It’s fast – so fast it will removemedia from 1500 rounds of .223brass in a matter of seconds.

Limited Work Space?Dillon’s introducing the new CV-750 heavy duty

Vibratory Case Cleaner for those with limited space. Thisnew case cleaner uses the same motor as the CV-2001and is every bit as tough – just more compact. To

accompany the CV-750, the CM-500 does the same jobas the larger CM-2000 Case/Media Separator; and, likethe CV-750, handles just about half the capacity of thelarger unit.

Although scaled down in size, these two pieces ofequipment are every bit as tough as their full-sizedcounterparts. We used the same materials in their con-struction and designed them to work just as hard – anddo it in a more compact area!

Until now, reusing military brass, with itscrimped primer pockets, has been a tedious

task. The Dillon solution is a remarkably simpledevice that bolts to your bench and allows you toswage the primer pockets with speed and ease.The case is supported from the inside, so youwon’t be tearing the rims off the brass. A toolsteel, hardened swage rod (easy to change fromlarge to small primers) simply rolls the crimpaway. No reaming is necessary. Our unique com-pound cam leverage system assures not only easeof operation, but perfect alignment with each andevery round. Sound simple? It is and it works.What’s more, it’s inexpensive. The Super Swage600 comes with large and small swage rods. 6.8 SPC Back-Up Rod P09-62124 $21.959mm Adaptor P09-62168 15.95.40 S&W Adaptor P09-62169 15.95

P09-20095$109.95

The RT 1500 is used just like astandard size die. The big dif-

ference is that while you are push-ing the case into the die to size it,an electric motor driving a car-bide cutter at 4500 RPM is trim-ming the case to length. Chips aredrawn off through a vacuum man-ifold that clamps to the outside ofthe special size/trim die. (Vacuumcleaner and hose not included.)The RT 1500 is equipped with a

quick-disconnect power cord;and it can be used on any stan-dard reloader, single stage orprogressive.

The RT 1500 Case TrimmerP09-62164 is $337.95. (Availableonly in 110 volt 60 hz.) Size/trimdies are sold separately (see chartbelow). Replacement carbide cut-ting blades, P09-13141, are$20.95 each. Upper lock rings,P09-13559, are $5.99 each.

the Single Action Shooting Society’s“Wild Bunch” category of CowboyAction Shooting, incorporating a hol-ster and mag pouch that look likethey were made at the turn of thecentury, yet feature state-of-the-artspeed and accuracy.

the T-nut lock system to ensure that itstays in place during a draw.

The mag pouch spaces the maga-zines so when you grab one mag, thesecond isn’t in your way; above thebelt line so the belt doesn’t interferewith the draw; and at the max depthrequired by the sport – and no more– so you’ll get a full grip and the abil-ity to index with your forefinger for arapid mag well insert.1911 Holster P09-19947 $139.95Mag Pouch P09-19946 44.95

Mr. Bulletfeeder has been around for some years now,and has gained a huge following worldwide. The

patented system is by far the best performing personal-usebullet feeder on the market, and has been, since itsintroduction in 2006. Double-Alpha Academy has teamedup with RAK Systems, the original designer and patentholder of the system, to redesign and streamline theproduct, making it more compact, more versatile, betterlooking and more affordable than ever before.

The Mr. Bulletfeeder by Double-Alpha is now aproduction-grade product, with Double-AlphaAcademy – a world leader in practical-shooting-relatedproduct manufacturing and distribution – at the helm.The design allows the bullet collator to be mounted ontothe casefeeder, eliminating any increased footprint andspace use, and the new patent-pending dropper is ahuge step forward in design, durability and reliability.

Having separateBullet Drop-

per Dies allowsyou to quickly

swap toolheads ofthe same caliber

sizes without hav-ing to remove andreadjust the bullet

dropper die.

Lose a spacer? This four-pack of Nose Guide

Spacers is identical to whatcomes with the Mr. Bullet-feeder. These are used to

adjust the height of bullets,so they don’t spill out or

flip upside-down.

The Output Tube Assembly is what connects the Mr.Bulletfeeder by DAA’s collator to the dropper. It

feeds the bullets into the dropper, keeping them alignedand feeding smoothly. The Small Output Tube Assemblyis required for the rifle calibers (both .223 and .308) as

well as when loading very short, light 9mm bullets, suchas many of the 90-grain bullets available. The Large Out-put Tube Assembly is required when loading 9mm (over

115-grain bullets), .40, or 45.

Sizing/Depriming DieOur sizing/depriming dies feature a unique “floating

decap assembly” with a snap spring that throws thespent primer off the pin and eliminates the problem ofprimer “draw back” that often occurs when decappingmilitary brass. The primary feature of Dillon’s size diedesign – the long, tapered carbide ring with a radiusedopening – remains unchanged.

That radiused opening, and its importance to progres-sive reloading, is one of the reasons why our seat andcrimp dies are better. We found a way of manufacturingthese dies that has enabled us to make the lead-in radiuseven bigger! The bigger radius makes progressive loadingwith our equipment even smoother – but that’s still onlya part of the story.

Bullet Seating DieOur quick-disassembly seat die allows the user to dis-

assemble and clean the seat die without losing adjust-ment. In this manner, bullet lube and shavings can bequickly removed from the die, thereby guaranteeing aconstant seating depth. We’ve incorporated a “flip-flop”seating stem and a clip that enables you to remove thedie insert and change the seating stem from round noseto semi-wadcutter without unscrewing a seating stem outof the die body. We’ve always included both types ofseating stems, but the new double-ended design makes ita simple matter to remove a pin, reverse the seatingstem, make any minor seating depth adjustments thatmay be necessary and go on loading in a fraction of thetime it used to take.

Crimp DieWe’ve made it easy for you to remove the die insert

for cleaning without having to change the critical crimpadjustment. Once your crimp die is set for the properamount of crimp, you’ll never have to change it. This isespecially good news for all of you who load lead bul-lets! Before, you had to unscrew the die from the tool-head and disassemble the die in order to remove anybullet lube or lead residue. Then, you had to start fromsquare one to re-adjust the crimp. Those days are over.All you have to do now is pop a clip and the die insertdrops into your hand for cleaning.

NOTE: All Dillon Pistol Die sets include our sizer/decap die,seat die and a separate crimp die. (Taper crimp for autos;

accu-crimp for revolvers.)

Dillon Three-Die Rifle Die Sets include a sizing/depriming die, a bullet seating die and a taper crimp die.Dillon Two-Die Rifle Die Sets include a sizing/deprimingdie and a seat/crimp die.

Sizing/Depriming DieThe sizing/depriming die is full-length, to minimum

tolerances, sizing cases down to function in semi- andfull-automatic firearms. We strongly suggest that a head-space case gage be used to correctly adjust the size die.

For high volume users, such as commercial reload-ers, law enforcement agencies, and high power orservice rifle competitors, we also offer .223 and .308die sets with a full-length carbide sizing die. Lubrica-tion is still required, but the increased scratch resist-ance and die longevity of carbide are of great benefitto these groups of users.

The depriming assembly includes a carbide expanderball for “squeak-free,” effortless neck expansion. Thisexpander ball is located in the middle of the deprimingstem to take advantage of superior initial leverage foreasier extraction.

In the event of a stuck case, the design of the deprim-ing assembly allows it to function as a stuck caseremover.

Bullet Seating DieOur bullet seating die is internally designed to keep

the bullet straight throughout the seating process. Onceproperly adjusted, the only measurable runout will bethat which is inherent in the bullet.

Taper Crimp DieThe taper crimp die is also specially configured to

center both the case neck and the case body, therebyaligning the entire cartridge for a more uniform crimp.Dillon Rifle Dies are designed to meet the more rigidrequirements for both accuracy and precision demandedby today’s marksman.

A taper crimp die is preferred for loading ammunitionintended to be used in semiautomatic firearms withdetachable box magazines, and in lever-action firearmswith tubular magazines.

By Barrett TillmanWe’ve long heard the wisdom, “Beware the

man who owns one gun. He probably knows howto use it.”

But ask any shooter how many guns he/sheowns, and you immediately encounter frosty reali-ty. The first response, of course, is “None of yourdamn business.”

The second response, equally valid, is “Idun-no.” Serious shooters buy, sell, and trade gunsalmost constantly. I’ve always suspected that oneof my longtime friends, a retired policeman, hasowned about 8 percent of the firearms in Marico-pa County.

But regardless of how many guns you own – orestimate you own – you can only use one at atime unless you shoot SASS Double Duelist cate-gory. (One single-action revolving pistol in eachhand, buckaroo.)

The subject arose when dining with my shoot-ing partner who’s also my attorney and a financialplanner. (Cue Warren Zevon: “Lawyers, Guns andMoney.”) We got musing about theoretical

ballistics – not velocities and trajecto-ries, but the rhetorical question. If you could onlykeep one gun – or had to grab one gun and runout the door – what would it be?

Obviously there’s no “right” answer. Prioritiesand circumstances are different for most people,and those factors are liable to change.

But there are common denominators to consid-er. Very few Dillonites will limit themselves to onegun, but many of us probably know people inter-ested in the subject. “What gun should I buy?” Sohere’s some thoughts to share.

SidearmsPistols and revolvers have inherent advan-

tages. They’re small and light, highly portableand easily concealed. Double-column pistolsprovide 15 or more rounds without a reload. ButDeputy Rick Grimes has survived eight seasonsof “The Walking Dead” with his .357 Python anda couple of speed loaders. If a wheelgun gets youthrough the Zombie Apocalypse, maybe that’s allyou need. In TV land.

A word about reloads: they hardly ever occurin real-world confrontations. Of the many gunfightwinners/survivors I’ve known, only one reloadedand that was simply because he could, notbecause it was necessary. But for our theoreticalpurposes, after you’ve solved your problem withthe handgun you hefted, then what? Is the fightreally over or was that Round One? Is the emer-gency that drove you out the door resolved?What’s the prospect for Round Two or Three?

riflesThere are rifles and there are rifles, from .22 LR

to .300 Blackout or better. But keep in mind that aRuger 10-22 has some advantages – small, light,reasonably accurate, andadaptable to acces-sories including optics.Offhand 50-yard preci-sion shots are fairly easyfor a competent shooter.

A great deal depends on whereyou live. Out in the wild, a leveraction or boltgun could meet yourneeds. The scout rifle concept pop-ularized by Jeff Cooper has much tocommend it, especially with detach-able box magazines and a glass withbackup iron sights.

In urban environs, extra ammuni-tion makes enormous sense for obvi-ous reasons. Therefore, some shoot-ers might want a semiauto .30 cal-iber for penetration of various barriermaterials, whether automotive or structural.

Others will play the .223 card, most often in anAR-15 platform. There’s much to be said for aCAR-15 with a Boonie Packer Redi-Mag attach-ment, holding a spare magazine. That permits twomags on the rifle all the time, or one on the gunwith the magwell empty. No need to look aroundfor more feed devices or ammo. Remember thatthe NRA member who ended last year’s Texaschurch shooting had to finger-load his AR magbefore responding. That’s a crucial factor whenseconds count toward survival – your own orsomeone else’s. Additionally, the CAR’s telescop-

THE ONE-GUN SOLUTION OR

Page 37: February 2019 the Blue Press · 2 Magazine Orifices, Large 1 Toolhead Pin 2 Pickup Tube, Large, Green Tips 2 Magazine Orifices, Small 1 550 Primer Cup Spring 2 Retaining Clips 2 Dispensing

ing stock enhances portability and hide-a-bility.With variable-power scopes, and with red-dotsights, rifles can be used up close. And in theurban jungle a rifle covers the down-the-block dis-tance of 1/8 of a mile, or more than 200 yards. Anoptic with a quick-detach mount to unmask ironsights is yet another advantage.

Shotguns Shotguns are similar to rifles: usually too long

for concealment but bringing desirable options tothe fight, whether a pump or semiauto, or even adouble barrel.

The first advantage of course is a variety ofammunition, whether bird shot, buckshot or slugs.

Secondly, a 12 gauge strikes with authority. Asa rule, buckshot patterns spread by an inch every

three feet (“An inchper yard”). So youshould invest in sometest ammo and range timeto determine what’s opti-mum in your scattergun, butgenerally buckshot is effec-tive to 30 yards – sometimes more.

How dense a pattern do you want? Dou-ble 0 buckshot holds eight pellets; number oneholds 16; number four has 21, all in diminishingcaliber of balls, of course. All have their advocates.

Today’s slugs can be shot accurately at 100yards and beyond, depending on specifics. Avail-ability of sabot rounds presents even more optionsfor consideration. If slugs are your prime ammo,you can invest in a rifled barrel to enhance down-range accuracy.

A folding/collapsible stock may be an advan-tage for your shotgun, assuming optimum porta-bility and semi-concealability are factors. But ashotgun with only a pistol grip – no stock – is

trouble you do not need. Absent a stock, the pistolgrip transfers the considerable recoil to your handrather than to the pocket of your shoulder. Pistol-grip-only shotguns have been called “one trickponies” for a reason. They are only useful whensingle-digit seconds count toward survival inemerging from a tight spot or vehicle.

The Bugout BagRather than focus on just grabbing a gun in an

emergency, consider a “bugout bag” containingthe weapon of choice. A zipper case for a longgun can include extra ammo, magazines, evenspare parts. That gives you more options than the

bare-bones rifle or shotgun by itself. Additionally,a “ready box” containing a variety of ammunitioncan provide what survivalist pioneer Mel Tappancalled “ballistic wampum” for trading purposes.

There’s another aspect of firearms choice. It’sconceivable that some people only want one gun,or perhaps can only afford one. In that case, con-ditions likely will dictate the selection. In militaryterms of “Clausewitz 101,” define the mission-pur-pose. Does the individual want a gun for plinking,defense, or “Whatever”? A .22 revolver probablywouldn’t be many peoples’ choice but it could beadequate for some.

And there’s another aspect related to age. Ifyou’re entering an assisted-living facility, you

probably won’t have a gun rack on the wall(though maybe that’s an untapped market). In thatinstance, a handgun is the obvious choice. Secur-ing the weapon is a vital concern, so investigatemethods of storing it safely while permitting rea-sonably fast access. A small lock-box with a two-or three-digit entry code stored out of sight hasmuch to offer.

In any case, give some thought to the one-gunoption, for yourself or for others.

By Alan KorwinSure, you’re really upset your rights are

infringed. Even with your carry permit there arecountless places you can’t go – and that’s withinyour home state. Cross the invisible line to thestate next door, and you can’t guess what the rulesand make-believe gun-free zones are. You know ifyou violate one, you’ll be in as much trouble as anunlicensed schoolteacher with a pocket pistol.Lord knows if you’re forced to use your gun inlegitimate self-defense, you’ll face a world of hurt– ruinously expensive with media assault dogsprobably attached.

This is why our laws have to change. Leftistradicals have been screaming we need to changeour gun laws, make them stronger and better.Let’s agree! It’s time to join their chorus – andtake the offensive. We need to fix, upgrade andchange our gun laws, so Americans are safer, ourrights are restored, and the chances that goodpeople are caught between rocks and hardplaces, and the days of defenseless, gunless orfacing deadly enemies without our safety toolscome to an end. Move the culture itself to a morecommon sense, rational place, reflected by ourlaws. The media – who may not change in theshort term – will face rational legislation andproposals that will be hard to ignore.

First, some perspective. Even the vaunted CatoInstitute, steeped in a tradition of libertarianfreedom, but constantly dunned with left-winganti-rights hype about firearms, unfortunatelymisses the mark with its Freedom Index. Whenranking states for gun freedom Cato mainly talliesfor gun-control laws, assigning tiny percentages aspart of their massive legal overview:

Local gun bans, initial permit cost, firearmslicensing index, waiting period for purchases,initial permit term, stricter minimum age, assaultweapons ban, open carry index, no duty toretreat, any other weapon, dealer licensing, built-in locking devices, restrictions on multiplepurchases, background checks for private sales,registration of firearms, design safety standards,machine guns, ammo microstamping, large-capacity magazine bans, sound suppressor,short-barreled shotguns, short-barreled rifles, .50caliber ban.

This provides some measure of the lack offreedom a state has with respect to its gun policy.Imagine how different the result if a state weremeasured for its defense or support of gun-freedom laws by tallying:

Permit recognition and reciprocity; protectionfor and actual gun education in public, private,

and higher education schools; shooting-rangeprotection; Constitutional Carry; self-defense-lawstrength; possession protection; prohibited placelimits; statewide sponsored competitions; Olympicsponsorship; tax credits available for gun safes,classes, sales days, accessories and ammo; guns atState Fairs; periodic range days; sponsored publicsafety classes and educational seminars; rights-enhancing laws in play, model legislation enacted,awards and recognition; civilian self-defensereview boards; presumption of innocence statutes;RICO protection laws; gun-destruction ban;requirement-to-reveal protection; frivolous lawsuitprotection; range-use protection for foreigntourism; local gun rights v. gun-control mediaassessment; corporate and retail gun-rightsdiscrimination; civil-rights denial under color oflaw; due-process protection from “red-flag” abuse;and let’s pause here.

Wrap your mind around this idea: Laws andsociety must embrace firearms and gun law as anasset to civility. Crime control is a completelydifferent subject. And neither one is so-called guncontrol, a euphemism for “disarm the public.”America and gun owners do not need “guncontrol” at this point. The media’s constantdrumbeat is pure Pravda. More “gun control” andlaws reducing your freedom will not accomplishthe false-flag purpose constantly bleated.

Crime rises, criminals are empowered and yourability to resist is reduced as “gun control” grows.Crime control is good, but missing from thenarrative. Good gun laws are needed. OK, withthe stage properly set, let’s get on with it.

Frivolous Lawsuit Protection

You cannot fairly be put in legal jeopardy whenyou legitimately use a firearm, or anything, toharm a person committing a felony, in an honesteffort to stop the person(s), defend yourself orother innocent people, or prevent a serious crime.This is basic law, reason, common sense, and hasbeen so since Biblical times. Objecting to this isirrational, indefensible and dangerous.

Socialists and left-wing reformers would haveyou be the criminal, or at least share blame insuch scenarios and that must unequivocally end,by statute. No crime attaches to you if you didnothing to create the situation, and only actedwhile the crime was taking place. The bad guy, orthe person’s kin, can’t come after you even withcivil charges (a lawsuit), if you’re innocent and thecriminal was doing or attempting to do wrong.Yes, it can be difficult to establish the facts. You’reon the hook while that takes place. But your state

keeping and bearing arms are as intolerable actsas a ban on having Bibles or dictionaries wouldbe. These specific civil-rights bans cannot stand,have been ignored far too long.

44 CLASSIC FIREARMS: The F.N. Model 1910 PistolBy John Marshall

Is it possible that the use of a single firearmcould change the course of global history andresult in millions of lives being tragically lost inthe century that followed? It’s not only possible, itactually happened! You are looking at a nearlyexact twin to the Fabrique Nationale pistol thatlaunched World War I and subsequently set upWorld War II. Those conflicts resulted in the reor-ganization of numerous national boundaries andeven further regional struggles. The “butterflyeffect” is the theory that a single somewhatinsignificant happening (such as a butterfly’s flap-ping wings) could result in a chain reaction ofweather or other events. That theory was provedtrue by the assassination of an Austrian official andhis wife in the year 1914. Here is the true story ofthat incident and the pistol that was used.

The pistol itself was yet another invention ofmaster gun designer John Moses Browning. In theyear 1900, his somewhat awkward-looking Model1900 .32 ACP pistol was produced by F.N. in Bel-gium and became a commonly encounteredhandgun in Europe. Its less-than-svelte appear-ance was partly due to the fact that the recoilspring was mounted in a tube above the barrel. Itworked well enough, but it was definitely notsleek. The gun Browning developed in 1908 andpatented in Belgium in 1909 changed all that. Inthis design, the recoil spring was placed aroundthe barrel, making for a slender, streamlinedappearance. It was a lighter, more concealableand more ergonomic weapon. Browning offered itto both Colt in the U.S. and Fabrique Nationale inBelgium. Colt declined to adopt it, but F.N. decid-ed to manufacture it. It was first offered in Europein October of 1912. Browning and F.N. initiallyreferred to it as Le Nouveau Modele (the NewModel), but sometime after World War I, it wasrenamed as the Model 1910. It was imported intothe U.S. until 1968, and a longer-barreled varia-tion, the Model 1922, was made until 1983 andsold in the U.S. as late as 1985.

The pistol was a blowback striker-fired design,and was chambered in two calibers, the 9x17mmBrowning (.380 ACP), and the 7.65x17mm Brown-ing (.32 ACP). It featured a grip safety that blockedthe sear until depressed, a manual safety on the leftside that locked both the grip safety and the slide,and a magazine safety. The magazine safety madethe grip safety impossible to press when the maga-zine was removed. The slide did not lock back afterthe last round was fired, although pushing themanual safety up into the slide’s forward notchwould lock it back for cleaning or inspection. JohnBrowning had specified that the case length of the.380 round be exactly the same as that of the .32.

It thus became easy enough to change the caliberof this gun by swapping only the barrels. Althoughmarked and “port holed” differently, the magazinesfor both calibers were identical dimensionally. Themagazine could hold seven rounds of .32, but onlysix .380 cartridges. The magazine release was atthe heel of the frame. The concept of the recoilspring being placed around the barrel started withSavage pistols of that era and lived on with theGerman Walther PP series, the Mauser HSc, theSoviet-designed Makarovs and quite a few others.The gun measured 6.02 inches in length andweighed 1.3 pounds. Total production quantity hasbeen estimated as 704,247.

EarlyModel1910s hadcheckeredanimal horngrips with asmall image ofthe Model1910 at the topof the grips.These gripswere used forjust a few

months. Later ones, still checkered horn but withthe F.N. intertwined logo in an oval at the top,were used until the beginning of World War II.From that point on, black plastic was used, andafter that war some wood grips were utilized. Gunsproduced in the first full year of manufacture(1912-1913) had the forward slide scallops extend-ing to terminate back beyond the forward lip of theframe. The pistol illustrated, which is estimated tohave been made in early 1913, has this slide con-figuration. Later slides terminate the scallop aheadof the frame.

Now let’s turn to the events of 1914 which areforever linked to the Browning Model 1910. A

group of seven students, members of a politicalgroup called Mlada Bosna (Young Bosnia), crafteda plan to assassinate the acknowledged heir to theAustrian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Theplan was to kill him during his visit to Sarajevo, theBosnian capitol. Austria-Hungary had annexedBosnia-Herzegovina in 1908, and resentment ofthat act in Bosnia ran high, particularly amongyoung students. Many wanted a merging of Bosniawith Serbia and Montenegro. The seven ranged inage from 16 to 27, and had attended high school inSarajevo. They had been recruited by a covert mili-tary society called “Unification or Death,” whichwas more commonly called the

“Black Hand.” Theyhad especially indoctri-

nated three young men, GavriloPrincip, Nedeljko C’abrinovic and

Trifun Grabez. These three had visit-ed Serbia and became familiar there

with the Browning Model 1910. Theypracticed shooting that pistol at a park

in Belgrade. They were then given four newpistols, six bombs, some cyanide capsules andmoney in May 1914 before returning to Sarajevo.

On June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand visited Sara-jevo to attend military maneuvers. Although hehad been warned by anonymous threats, he dis-dained protection, and his security was quite light.His motorcade from the train station to city hallincluded four open convertible automobiles. Heand his wife, Duchess Sophie Chotek, were seatedin the second car. The seven young conspiratorsspaced themselves some distances apart along theplanned route. The motorcade first reached theposition occupied by C’abrinovic. He threw hisbomb at the second car, which bounced off andexploded under the third car, injuring its occu-pants. C’abrinovic ran, but was almost immediate-ly caught and arrested. Franz Ferdinand orderedthe convoy to continue in spite of this event.Although the convoy drove past three other con-spirators, they could not act in the confusion andchaos generated by the crowd. The processionarrived at city hall, but the stay was shortened. Theconvoy then continued on, passing in front ofGrabez, who somehow failed to shoot. Althoughthe motorcade was officially re-routed, the driverunknowingly followed the old route. When he wasinformed of his mistake, he stopped and started

backing up. This placed the Archduke’s car a merefive feet away from Gavrilo Princip. He quicklyfired at the Archduke and Duchess. Each was hit;he in the neck and she in the stomach. Both diedbefore reaching the hospital. Princip was immedi-ately caught and arrested.

The four pistols, purchased in Belgrade by theBlack Hand, were all chambered for the .380 car-tridge. When they were traced, links were indicat-ed between the Serbian government, the BlackHand, and the conspirators. Because a Serbian offi-cial was intimately involved, the assassination wasthen considered an act of war.

The Serbian government was accused of plottingthe assassination, and diplomatic relationsbetween Serbia and the Austrian-Hungarian Empirewere cut. The Austrian-Hungarian army was mobi-lized, and war was declared on Serbia exactly onemonth after the assassination, July 28, 1914. Thisinitiated World War I (then known as “the GreatWar”), resulting in widespread catastrophicdestruction and an estimated 37 million casualtiesuntil it ended in November 1918.

The first trial of the conspirators started in Sara-jevo on October 12, 1914, with 26 defendants.Most of those actively involved, including Princip,were minors and thereby escaped the deathpenalty. Princip died in prison from tuberculosison April 28, 1918. A second trial, mostly involv-ing members of the Black Hand and other perti-nent Serbian suspects, was held in the spring of1917 in Salonika. Nine received the death penaltyand were executed.

Only one pistol was presented as evidence dur-ing the first trial. Its serial number was 19075, butit has been reported that Princip’s pistol was num-ber 19074. The remaining pistols of the conspira-tors carried numbers 19120 and 19126. Princip’spistol is now on display in the Heeresgeschichtlich-es (Military history) Museum in Vienna, Austria.Badly corroded, it was recovered from a Jesuitmonastery formerly in Sarajevo, but relocated toVienna as WWI started. The .380 pistol illustratedhere was manufactured in the same time frame asthe four pistols involved, making it a very closeduplicate of each of them.

Interestingly, in Serbia and Sarajevo, Principhas often been considered a hero. There is an offi-cial Gavrilo Princip day, and some patrioticplaques have been placed on site of the assassina-tion. A medal was minted to commemorate Prin-cip’s act, and his grave is routinely decorated withflowers. Regardless of opinion, Princip provedthat one person (armed with an F.N. Model 1910)could and did alter world events for more than acentury. The “butterfly effect” is now conclusivelyproven by history.

By J. B. WoodThe model number is clever. It’s an instant

reminder that you can comfortably carry this sub-compact 9mm every day of the year. It’s a littlesmaller and lighter than all of the other little nines.And, there is another very important difference.With one exception, the other 9mm sub-compactshave single-stack six-round magazines. The P365holds 10 rounds.

The exception mentioned above, the S&WShield, has a seven-round mag. They did this bymaking it a little wider, with a semi-staggeredeffect, to get in that extra round. The SIG design-ers took this a bit farther to achieve 10-roundcapacity. It’s still not a true “double row” type; solet’s call it “semi staggered.”

And, they did this while keeping the width ofthe grip-frame at one inch. According to the SIGfactory people, the P365 was, essentially, designedaround the magazine. Looking at the magazine,you will notice that a straight taper begins aboutone inch from the top. I can imagine the designertrying several angles and lengths before findingthis exactly right slant.

You get two 10-round magazines with theP365. One has a flat floorplate, and the other isslightly extended to form a rest for the small finger.I would recommend using that one as primarymagazine, and the flat one as the spare. Availableas a separate accessory is a mag with just a littlemore protrusion that holds 12 rounds.

The other numbers: Unloaded weight is 18.6ounces. Overall length is 5.8 inches. Height, withthe flat-floorplate magazine, 4.3 inches. Width, 1

inch, and barrel-length, 3.1 inches. As previouslymentioned, it is smaller and lighter than all otherlittle 9mm pistols.

The frame is high-tech polymer, and everythingelse is good steel, with a Nitron-black finish. Thelocking system is falling-barrel, and it is striker-fired. The trigger position would suggest Double-Action, but this is not the case. When the slide iscycled, it is fully cocked. This forward-triggerarrangement makes the distance from the deepincurve at upper rear just right.

There is an automatic internal striker-block.This is canceled only in the last fraction of thetrigger-pull, so there’s no need for a manual safe-ty. However, there is a version offered with bilat-eral manual levers. The slide latch is on the leftside only, at the top of the grip. The magazinerelease button is reversible.

There are two welcome design omissions – nosilly flipper-safety in the wide, smooth trigger, andno “hook” at the front of the nicely rounded trig-ger guard. At the front of the frame, there’s agroove on both sides for mounting a light or laser.It’s not a standard rail, though. You’ll have to gowith a SIG tactical unit.

The shape of the grip-frame is excellent. A deepincurve at upper rear, and a stippled effect all theway around. At the top, a shallow curved recesson both sides makes a good thumbrest. At thefront, very slight finger recesses that will fit,regardless of your finger size. For easy operation,the slide has good retraction grooves at both frontand rear. Slide cycling is also helped by the dou-ble concentric recoil spring unit.

And now, a nice little surprise: The P365 comeswith a set of SIG X-Ray3 night sights as standardequipment. They are square-picture, both dovetail-mounted. The front has a large luminous green cir-cle with a tritium dot at center, and the rear notchhas tritium dots on each side. Both are very visi-ble, in daylight or pitch dark.

On my sample P365, the trigger pull was a littlescratchy at first. New-gun syndrome, I think. Witha bit of use, it settled in to a clean let-off. There’sabout a quarter-inch of easy take-up, when you’rejust compressing the trigger spring. Then, the trig-ger bar engages the sear. On the Lyman electronicscale, the average weight of pull was 7 pounds, 4ounces. For personal defense, quite acceptable.

When I go to the range with a small, deep-con-cealment pistol of this type, I don’t do seated,casual-rest, and five-yard stuff. I just want to knowif it will do well-centered groups in an 8-inch tar-get black at 7 and 15 yards, and whether it willfunction with several types of ammo. In the caseof the P365, the answers were yes, and yes. Theammo ranged from ordinary solids to serious stuff,from Black Hills, Winchester and SIG. It ate themall, no problems.

All shooting was done standing, with a two-handhold. Two of the best groups, at the 7-yard distance,were 3.5 inches, with no “flyers.” One of those waswith the SIG ammo, labeled “365” to match thepistol. The felt recoil, especially with the high-per-formance ammo, was quite brisk, but not painful.Hey, in a pistol of this size and weight, with full-power ammo, you expect some force.

For the after-shooting clean up, takedown iseasy. It is covered in the well-written user’s manu-

al, but I have a couple of comments. Don’t beoffended by the 10 pages of lawyer-ly warnings,and others throughout. They have to do that. Okay,you’ve locked the slide open and removed themagazine. Now, you turn the takedown latch allthe way down until it stops, slightly forward of ver-tical, restrain the slide, trip the slide latch, andease it off.

However, unless you have the hand strength of ayoung Arnold Schwarzenegger, you may not beable to turn down that takedown lever. The fullforce of the compressed recoil spring unit is bearingon it. To avoid marring the slide, do what I did. Usethe plastic handle of a screwdriver to push it down.

The other point refers to reassembly, and this isnot in the manual. If, during cleaning, the take-down latch has been rotated back to its lockedposition, the slide latch will drop down. This willprevent turning the takedown lever back to itsfully open position, where it has to be when theslide assembly is put back on the frame. Remedy:Push the slide latch back upward while turning thetakedown lever.

Let’s see, have I forgotten anything? Ah, yes. Ontop, at the rear edge of the barrel, there’s a smallrectangular opening that lets you see the rim of achambered round, a “loaded” indicator. The MSRPfor the P365 is $600, but as you know, it can befound for less. Also, remember that night sights areincluded. And, you’ll have the smallest, lightest,9mm that presently exists. And, SIG quality.

Acharacteristic of virtually all progressive reloadingmachines, regardless of brand, is that the dies are set

rather close together. When you are first setting up a“naked” machine, there is plenty of wrench room, but ifyou have a need to adjust a die afterward, it often re-quires a delicate touch to maneuver a lock ring on acrowded toolhead.

Dillon Precision has addressed this in two ways. Wenow offer new 1” die lock rings and a 1” Bench Wrenchto fit them. This combination gives much more room to

re-adjust dies after they’re already mounted. The oppo-site end of our new wrench is a 7/16” box-end for ad-justing the Powder Bar of any Dillon Powder Measure.Our new lock rings fit any standard 7/8” x 14 dies.

Open up your mind and your perceptions,read the sights, know where every shot is

going as you fire it. This ability comes with –you guessed it – practice.

By Duane ThomasOccasionally I run into people who, after they

watch me shoot, say to me, “Well, you PRAC-TICE.” And man, they are accusatory about it.Like I’m engaging in some sort of deceitful,underhanded practice. Pun intended. The subtextbeing, “Well, I could do the things you can do if IPRACTICED, too.” They may well be right. Yes,it’s true, folks, I am one of those dirty, nasty,sneaky Practicers.

The sport and martial art of “combat” pistolshooting is built around the concept of “perfor-mance on demand.” So many people, whenthey’re practicing (assuming they ever do), will tryto do something, and fail, time after time, then ifthey succeed ONCE, they’ll count that as theirskill level. “I can do this.” No. It’s not enough tobe able to “do” something. You have to be able todo it on demand. I call this “What you have in thebank.” On a basic level, combat pistol matchesmeasure what you have in the bank. That’s why,except under extraordinary circumstances, wedon’t allow reshoots. It’s not “What can you do ifwe let you try, over and over again, then countonly your best performance when you got luckyonce?” It’s “What can you do if you have to grabthe gun and go, and every bullet that exits yourgun muzzle counts?”

It’s important to realize, however, “performanceon demand” is not code for “Never practice.” Itmeans, “Practice intensely and improve your skill

level while you can, so it will be there, and bestrong, when you actually need it.”

Recently I was shooting a stage an ASI (ActionShooting International) match. Very simple drill, asstages at ASI matches tend to be. Two USPSA tar-gets at, oh, eight or nine yards, with about fiveyards distance between them. There was a no-shoot target stapled over everything to the left ofthe lower A-zone on Target 1, the left target. OnTarget 2, the right target, it was a mirror image, ano-shoot stapled over everything to the right of thelower A-zone. Stage procedure was: draw from theholster or start with the gun sitting on a 55-gallondrum in front of you (I went from the holster), fireat least six shots on Target 1, move to another 55-gallon drum designating the second shooting posi-tion, fire at least six rounds on Target 2. You had todo a reload somewhere before the last shot.

I’m watching other people run the stage beforeme. No one is shooting for the lower A-zone oneither target, they’re doing head shots becausethey’re scared of hitting the no-shoots.

It’s my turn. “Do you understand the course offire?” “Yep.” “Load and make ready. Stand by...”BEEP! I draw and Bill Drill the first target, six shotsinto the A-zone as fast as I can pull the trigger andtrack the sights. Nice, tight group in the center ofthe A-zone, didn’t even come close to the no-shoot. I’m moving out of position 1, doing myreload, I’ve got the new mag in the gun, I’m reac-quiring my two-handed grip, I extend the gun

Page 63: February 2019 the Blue Press · 2 Magazine Orifices, Large 1 Toolhead Pin 2 Pickup Tube, Large, Green Tips 2 Magazine Orifices, Small 1 550 Primer Cup Spring 2 Retaining Clips 2 Dispensing

while still moving into position, I’m at the second55-gallon drum, I settle in, Bill Drill the secondtarget. On one of my shots, I see the front sight isslightly misaligned left, but my read of the sightssays to me, “That was still a good shot, it was tothe left but it was right on the line, probablybisecting the line.” I focus through the sights,check my group, I’m ready to take another shot ifnecessary, but then I say, “No, that was good,” I letit go after six shots.

“If you are finished shooting, unload and showclear.” So I’m not really thinking too much aboutit, I head back behind the line to reload maga-zines. Peripherally I’m aware of what’s going on,I’m thinking, “Why did every single other personon the squad go downrange with the scorer, whyare they all clustered around that second target?”It was because they wanted to see if I’d done it;they wanted to see if that one shot to the left wasan A-hit. It was. And it wasn’t just touching theline, it was bisecting the line, right where my readof the sights had said it would be.

My final score was 8.something seconds,down-0. Now, I’m not putting that forth as beinggreat, awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping performance,because I’m well aware it wasn’t. There are cer-tainly people in the world who could do that farbetter than I. But it’s not the shooting equivalent ofbeing a 98-pound weakling, either.

As they all walked back uprange, one of themlooked at me and said, “Wow, you actually did it.

I guess all that ‘practice’ stuff you do really paysoff after all, huh?”

Then my new friend Justin Baker ran the samestage, a few shooters later. He did the exact samething I had: draw, six shots into the A-zone,reload on the move, six shots into the second A-zone. Also down-zero, only a few tenths slowerthan me. I was like, “DUDE. Well-done.” He saidto me, “Well, I was doing to do head shots. Butthen I thought, ‘Duane just made that look reallyeasy. Maybe I should approach it myself like it’sreally easy.’”

SUMMARYThere’s an idea floating around that competing

in matches will make you a better shooter. Hon-estly, the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’mconvinced that’s not really true. There’s nothingabout being a match shooter, by itself, that’s goingto magically make your skillset improve. Thematch is how we check where we are. It’s how wetest our ability to perform on demand, understress. Yes, shooting matches will get you used toperforming under stress, on demand, with a gun inyour hand. Yes, that stress level will do its bit tomake those skills permanent much faster. But somuch of the actual improvement occurs duringpractice sessions, before the match even starts. Toparaphrase Grand Master Brian Enos, When youlook at a stage, and you already know, before evershooting it, there’s nothing there you can’t do real-ly well, you’ve already won.

Shooting Tip: Practice!Shooting Tip: Practice!

The HYSKORE Six Gun Modular Pistol Rack is constructedfrom closed-cell, non-reactive foam that will not absorb

moisture or react with lubricants or solvents. It has a soft, suede-like finish, but is rigid enough to offer firm support. The rest willhold six pistols with either single-stack or double-stackmagazines, and can be disassembled and reconfigured to holdguns with wider or narrower grips. The modular feature of therest also means that two or more rests can be connectedtogether and reconfigured not only to give each gun its own“special home,” but also to take maximum advantage of allavailable space in your safe or vault. This is easy to do using3/16” threaded rod, washers, and hex nuts available from anyhome-improvement store. The rack measures 11-1/4” wide x 7-1/2” deep x 6” high.

P09-10208 $19.99

The HYSKORE Degreezer consists of a 12” x 6” x 4-1/2”polypropylene tray with an angled drainage surface and a well with

a perforated basket for holding and draining small parts. The set alsoincludes a standard double-end nylon gun-cleaning brush. As anyonewho has cleaned a gun is aware, cleaning small parts is a majorchallenge. Given the available technology and fixtures, the standardprocedure is to use some kind of cup or similar vessel, pour in aquantity of cleaning solvent, and then pick up the parts one by one andbrush them clean. The Degreezer changes all of that. Small parts andeven complete trigger groups and bolt assemblies can be placed in thebasket and the well filled with solvent to cover the parts and left tosoak for extended periods. Then the basket can be withdrawn, drainingall the parts. As a bonus, the set includes a cover with an integralholder for the brush. This means the solvent that has beencontaminated by the cleaning process can be left in the well of theDegreezer (rather than returned to the bottle) with the cover in place sothat it’s ready to be used for the next cleaning event. The tray, cover,and basket are made from polypropylene plastic. This has been provento be impervious to all popular commercial cleaning solutions. It willalso resist kerosene, acetone, and gasoline. The Degreezer will quicklybecome an indispensable fixture on your workbench.

For anyone using .308/7.62 AR-type rifles, it’s commonknowledge that many factory rounds exhibit excessive

primer flow and/or ejector smear. At its core, this is a resultof ammo development being done by manufacturers only formanual platforms without testing in semiauto platforms.Some rifle manuals even record the maximumrecommended load data beyond the functional range of

these rifles. Unfortunately, these issues will persist until themanufacturers of ammunition realize that an AR platformrequires a unique pressure curve to allow for both accuracyand reliability. 

Manufactured to the exacting standards of JP Enterprises’standard bolt offerings, the High Pressure EnhancedBolt™design represents a giant leap forward in alleviating theproblems traceable to over-pressured loads – namely primerflow, ejector smear, extraction issues, and ignition reliability.In combating these problems, this new bolt design opens upa much broader range of ammunition compatibility and loaddensity in the AR .308/7.62 and other variants such as6.5mm or 6mm calibers in this platform. 

Among its other enhancements, the .308HP bolt featuresan improved ejector pin hole and modified ejector tomitigate case head extrusion and frequent brass shavings.The JP Enhanced Extractor eliminates virtually all extractor-related failures while the JP Enhanced Gas Rings provide amore reliable, lower friction gas seal with longer lifespan. 

While ultimately every end user needs to be aware of theammunition limitations of their large-frame AR, the JP.308HP bolt offers multiple advancements to vastly increasethe ammunition and operational abilities of the platform.

By Oleg VolkThe United States of America has been the

only large-scale user of .45 ACP since its intro-duction in 1905. While other users of .44/.45 cal-iber pistol cartridges largely phased them out fol-lowing World War One, we doubled-up bychambering commercial and, later, military sub-machine guns for the .45 ACP. The 1918 Thomp-son, originally designed for hotter proprietaryammunition, went on the market in 1921 in .45ACP. As the rest of the world adopted .35 and .30caliber submachine guns and machine pistols,Thompson introduced a 1928 model adopted byUSMC and FBI, along with many private users.Heavy and expensive, priced like a mainstreamcar, the classic Thompsons with superfluous Blishlocks providing theoretical retardation of the boltunlocking were not what the wartime army need-ed. M1 and M1A1 submachine guns of the 1940swere cruder and simpler, but still launched 230-grain projectiles. Given the short intended rangeand the saturation of the US Infantry with longer-range self-loading firearms, the steep trajectory ofthe relatively slow bullet was not viewed as a

problem. As the war progressed, M3 “greasegun,” a cheaper and more compact stamped sup-plement to the Thompson was made in largenumbers. Made with non-adjustable sights and awire stock, M3 was nonetheless controllable andeffective to the same 50-yard range as most of theThompson variants. The US Army’s love affairwith .45 ACP lasted through the 1980s when gen-eral issue M1911 pistols and tank crew M3 werefinally phased out to further 9mm standardizationwith NATO allies.

On the commercial side, the 1934 NationalFirearms Act took the wind out of submachinegun sales. By the 1960s, some small numbers ofIngram .45 ACP submachine guns became avail-able, both in Thompson and Uzi-like form factor,along with a rare semiautomatic carbine. Severalmodels of Fox carbines, externally resembling acrude Thompson, were made during the 1970s.Those open-bolt guns used a form of friction-retarded blowback with radial bolt movement,foreshadowing the later CMMG radial-delayeddesign. That permitted the weight to be broughtunder 8 pounds, but the carbines were not all

that popular. With numerous corporate changes,a variety of models were made up to the late1970s and then discontinued. The same fatebefell the .45-ACP Beretta variant of the Storm:while the gun itself was well designed, it was lim-ited to 8-shot magazines. Belatedly, 16-shotextended magazines are now available, but the$120 price limits sales. The briefly available HKUSC variant of the UMP submachine gun alsosuffered from 10-round magazine capacity andhigh asking price.

In closed-bolt blowback carbines, .45 ACPgenerates noticeable recoil, while gaining littleballistic advantage over pistol-length barrels,especially with the most common 230-grainloads. In the 165- and 185-grain +P variants, thecartridge produces noticeably higher muzzlevelocity, but it decays quickly, and the practicalrange remains limited to about 100 yards. Fortu-nately, the vast majority of non-military encoun-ters happen well within that distance. Being agood threat-stopper for a pistol cartridge popularwith many individual pistol users and someinstitutions, .45 ACP retains a modest but consis-

tent long-gun niche in the United States. Thatniche is filled with several options, from the lux-urious semiauto Thompson variant to the purelyutilitarian Hi-Point, with several original optionsin-between.

Kahr Arms produces semiauto Thompsonsunder the resurrected Auto-Ordnance (auto-ord-nance.com) trademark. Shipped with a 16-inchbarrel and closed-bolt semiautomatic mechanismto conform with NFA regulations, M1927 is nec-essarily even heavier than the original, outwardlyresembling the 1918 light machine gun variant.Feeding from 20- and 30-round double-row stickmagazines, most variants also accept the massivewind-up 50- and 100-round drums. The full-upweight of the M1927 loaded with 100 of the fat.45 ACP cartridges is around 21 pounds. Militarysurplus stick magazines require slight modifica-tion to lock in the 1927. The gun doesn’t havemuch felt recoil, but holding it up to the shoulderfor the mag dump can be taxing. As a fashionprop, the Thompson is superb, but it falls short ofamazing in use. For one, the twin recoil springsnecessary to return the massive breechblock and

“Accurate, lightweight, and reliable with all ammunition,CMMG Guard is the clear winner in the category.”

drive the striker add up to nearly 40 pounds, andthe slotted charging handle is oriented to presentall the sharp edges to the user’s hand in the exactdirection of the required effort. While the rearsight is graduated for drop all the way to 500yards, there’s absolutely no provision for anywindage adjustment. The carbine cannot bezeroed by design. Mechanical accuracy of my1927 was poor despite the long sight radius, land-ing somewhere in the 12-MOA range and severalinches right of the point of aim even at 25 yards.Other people reported much better accuracy, upto 4 MOA and shooting to point of aim at 25yards. Due to the requirement for the bolt to belocked back for the insertion of drum magazines,a removable, easily lost “third hand” deviceamounting to a non-integral bolt hold open isrequired. Reliability has been spotty with allexamples I’ve tried, averaging a malfunction in 15-20 rounds. All in all, the carbine can be describedas beautifully made but awkward and nearly unus-able for any serious purpose.

Bazooka Brothers’ BAZ45 carbine(bazookabrothers.com) is a radical departurefrom the Thompson, a direct impingement gasoperated upper mated to an AR lower dedicatedto “Grease Gun” magazines. Since a long barrelisn’t necessary for .45 ACP, most uppers camewith an 11-inch rifled portion and a long CAR-15style flash hider for the balance of the mandated16 inches. Light and handy, BAZ45 has almost nofelt recoil and stays well on target during rapidfire. Full power or +P ammunition must be usedfor the gun to cycle reliably. Relatively light-weight bolt carrier group sometimes struggles tostrip cartridges from the single-feed M3 maga-zines. Once available cheaply as surplus, M3magazines are no longer common. Aftermarketmagazines usually work if loaded right before fir-ing but spread under pressure if stored long-term,

not even fitting in the magazine well. Besides theammunition sensitivity, favoring loads with moreand faster powders, BAZ45 is not particularlyaccurate despite the capacity to accept optics: 12MOA has been typical with all loads. That’sdecent for a submachine gun, but not impressivefor a closed-bolt carbine.

The Hi-Point 4595TS carbine (hi-point-firearms.com) is a distinctly odd-lookingclamshell design that’s surprisingly sophisticatedon the inside. An Uzi-like enveloping bolt permitsshorter length and neutral balance. Some modelscome with lasers or scopes pre-installed, andadding a red dot sight is pretty easy. The stock hasa riser to accommodate different sights, which ishelpful but also tends to catch on the facial hairsunder recoil. The gun comes with very good ironsights, but also a fairly heavy and gritty trigger. Thecarbine uses the same single-stack 9-shot maga-zine as the Hi-Point .45 ACP pistol. Accuracyvaries, but seems to be around 7-8 MOA with thedefault iron sights for most ammo brands. Withmatch ammunition, such as SIG, Black Hills andHPR, and an optic, the Hi-Point turned inrespectable 4 MOA. All samples I’ve seen had stel-lar reliability. Felt recoil is sharp but not painful,helped a bit by the thick buttpad and spring-loaded stock. Takedown is slow and awkward,requiring removable of the front sight. High TowerArmory makes a bullpup conversion stock thatsimplifies maintenance greatly, and makes the trig-ger feel lighter by widening it considerably. Thatand the further improved balance make accurateoff-hand shooting very easy. Being relatively inex-pensive and reliable, the Hi-Point is a pretty gooddeal if you can live with 9+1 capacity. [Editor’sNote: Redball 20-round .45 ACP magazines (red-ballsports.net) for Hi-Point carbines, introduced atthe 2018 SHOT Show, are reliable, inexpensiveand approved by Hi-Point.]

Above: Handy and easy to shoot, BAZ45 was pickyabout ammo and not very accurate.

Right: Hi-Point 4595TS carbine proved reliable with awide variety of ammunition. The least expensive of the

available models, it represents an excellent value.

Lone Wolf PCC45 (lonewolfdist.com) is an origi-nal gas-operated design using 13- and 25-roundGLOCK magazines. With the long, extensively skele-tonized forend and AR furniture, this gun has excel-lent ergonomics, especially once the basic ATI butt-stock is swapped for something more durable. Left-side charging handle does reciprocate on firing. Feltrecoil is negligible, and factory threaded barrel sup-ports sound suppressors. Thanks to locked breechdesign, it has minimal ejection port pop, and rack-ing the bolt takes minimal effort. Maintenance isalso quite simple, though it requires regular pistonring replacement. Accuracy is in the 8-10 MOArange, depending on the ammunition brand. Sadly,two of the three samples I use were quite unreli-able. They wouldn’t feed wide hollow points, andfurther had issues with feeding, extraction and ejec-tion even with ball ammunition. The longest shotstring between malfunctions was 10 shots, and usu-ally no more than four. The sample carbine wentback to the factory for repairs, and returned work-ing no better. Much as I like the concept of thishandy, nearly recoilless gun, it’s just not reliableenough in its present form.

CMMG Guard (cmmginc.com) developed theradially retarded blowback with an elegant varia-tion on the AR-15 bolt: the backs of the bolt lugsare angled and slide out of the barrel extensiononce the chamber pressure drops. This design issimple and easy to maintain, permitting reliabilitywith every type of ammunition thrown at it, from150-grain zinc alloy high velocity to anemic 200-grain match to 230-grain +P hollowpoints. Feed-ing from GLOCK magazines as well, Guard provedunfailingly reliable and easy to shoot well. Having

no gas system, it gets away with a thinner hand-guard than its gas-operated competitor. A standoutfor accuracy thanks to a good trigger and qualitybarrel, it delivered consistent 2-3 MOA results.The muzzle brake, at first glance superfluous on apistol-caliber long gun, proved effective as a com-pensator. With a 1-6x Trijicon VCOG, Guardallowed reliable 100-yard headshots, which is anoutstanding achievement for this caliber. For sup-pressed use, the bolt carrier may be fitted withadditional weights to delay the bolt opening whilethe pressure dissipates. By contrast with extra-short gas system necessarily robbing the projectileof some of the available gas, this retarded-blow-back method retains closer to full power, meaninga 20-25 percent velocity increase over pistol-length barrels. The improvement is usually greatestwith lighter weight bullets, giving a relatively flattrajectory out to 150 yards or so but greater winddrift further out. In terms of handling, this fairlylight – under six pounds – carbine proved thefavorite of all testers, delivering precision fire withminimal kick to the shoulder.

.45 ACP might not be the ideal long-gun car-tridge, being pretty well optimized for pistol bar-rels, but it does gain some energy and a great dealmore accuracy when shot from the shoulder. Withvery low muzzle pressure, it also gives a mildreport and dim flash, all useful in case of use forhome defense. For people who already carry .45ACP GLOCK or Hi-Point pistols, these companioncarbines permit an extra efficiency of magazineand ammo procurement. And it’s just plain fun toshoot against steel, moving the targets much morevisibly than a smaller caliber would.

While featuring minimal recoil andgood ergonomics, Alpha PCC45 fell

short in reliability.
