Since I lost my front rack to my rad relocate, I was looking at buying a atv hitch carrier to get me back some hauling space when working on the lease. After looking at the store bought ones I decided to build one. I had the squared tubing and half sheet of pressure treated plywood laying around, and threw one together. The height is adjustable and keeping it two piece will make it easier to store.

Added a 10 mm 1911 to the collection

Yes I had read that , the plan is to buy loaded rounds till I get a decent collection of brass then start to reload. My hope is to load to the full potential of the 10mm while still keeping accuracy. -
I have a JoJan with right and straight clamps for feathers. For blazer vanes I use the Arizona EZ fletch shorty . Easy way to clean the glue is wipe with acetone. I kept a old pickle jar and filled it half way with acetone and I’ll soak the arms in it to to move all traces of glue.

I wish, I would have been happy with a 30-40% off even . The girl at the counter did say they had a 100% off that morning she didn’t say for what though. I told the wife how bad would it suck if it was on a like a $20 item though. -
Better too have it and not need it , then not have it and need it. Deer hunting - there’s more room around them then on them . This is mine that my 2 boys love - it’s only illegal if you get caught

I am on my second competition electronics pro chrono, the first one died on the 3rd time it was tipped over. They both have worked well for arrow speed and testing my handgun and rifle loads.

Yeah the Glocks didn’t interest me, not a huge fan of the chamber not supporting the entire case. I reload so didn’t want a chance of the Glock case bulge. I know guys do reload with no problems , but myself not worth it when there are other quality guns. -

It’s just the 10mm, a few guys posted about toggle lug failure with hot rounds. Now granted it wasn’t a high failure count and ruger did take care of them. It just would be in the back of my head when shooting and I wouldn’t feel confident with it being reliable. -

I may. It would be hard for me not to use the SRH during deer season though . But one should never say never. -

Yes I was the one . I’ll post up some reviews when I do get out to shoot it. My initial thoughts- I have big hands ( I wear 2xl gloves ) and it felt and fit great in my hand , this was a big reason I bought it . The fiber optic front sight with the white dots rear were very easy to acquire and line up, It’s got a nice weight and balance. The tactical grips are fantastic , the slide functioned smoothly. -
I’ve been wanting a 1911 in 10mm for some time. I wanted a fairly high horse power carry gun when working on the lease and to take along on a Alaskan trip next year for our 30 yr anniversary. I’m a Ruger guy all the way but they were experiencing reliability problems with their 1911’s in 10 mm. So the search was on for another, the more I read reviews on Rock Island arms with their great price, super reliability and great warranty, I thought I need to fondle one. Found sportsman’s warehouse was a dealer and took a trip down . I didn’t expect for them to have one but they sure did. So as I was fondling it the wife walks over and myself and another customer were talking about the rock island 1911’s in 10mm as he just bought one off of the great reviews he had read on them also . Out of the blue shes like, buy it if you want it. I never told her I was looking to buy a 10mm I was just seeing if I liked the feel. So of course I bought it . They were having a special Pop a ballon event with anywhere from 5 to 100% off. And I only got a 10% off but hey better than nothing, it covered the tax and then some. Now to buy cases, projectiles and reloading die’s . Gotta say I’ve got a great wife.....
