      What did you load or shoot today?

      I took my 1911 40 super conversion to the range. I have new brass, primers, and bullets but I'm saving up up for a set of reloading dies as far as I can tell redding is the only one who makes them.

Over all I'm very pleased with the conversion...

      1911 leather holster ideas
