Default Good Evening From Tidewater VA
Well I'm the new guy on yet another forum. I love 1911s. To meet the qualifications for this forum I have two DWs; one a CBOB Patriot from early in the 2000s, that Dave Severn Hard Hatted and tweaked for me and a Patriot Marksman Stainless.

I'm a reloader using Blue Gear. Until recently my favorite load was 6.0 of Universal under a lead 200 gr LSWC.....but since the Spring the local indoor range has mandated jacketed or plated bullets and I'm in the process of settling out on a new load. Tried Berry's 200 SWC over the same 6 gr of Universal, while it is a bit cleaner I could not get them to soot as well. Will try the standard 230 grain plated over 5.5 of Universal and see how that goes.

For perspective sake I'm a little guy 5' 16" and 250#. I stretch extra large work gloves to fit and I'm a bit past the half century mark with visual accuity issues that go with that. I'm a honorably discharged veteran having served in Uncle Sam's Confused Group during the 1980s.

I have to admit to owning a Tuppergun (cheap Factory Ammo) and the 1911 version of the 10 round Tuppergun.

Welcome to the forum from another old, large, navy guy living in Hampton Roads!

But I'm older, larger, and the water was deeper and bluer in my navy

Welcome aboard, and don't let the jar heads and other assorted ground pounders get you down!
