I recently purchased the "ATI Firepower Xtreme: Military 1911". This is a 1911A1 replica made in the Philippines and imported by American Tactical Imports. I purchased this 1911 new for $377.
This is a long winded follow-up to my recent video asking: why do most of my 45ACP bullets shot from my 1911 have "funny" marks on the side? Also, how soft can our cast bullets be in our semi autos before the chambering process causes too much damage to the bullet nose as it contacts the feed ramp? Inquiring minds want to know!
Welcome to the first challenge of this fine new year…it’s going to last all summer or until everyone says they give up or lose interest. It’s a ‘challenge’ and it’s on the personal level…it’s about learning a little different shooting style than you may have been accustomed to. Basically, in my estimation it is ‘defensive […]

The bullet from this mould is listed on the Accurate site as the mould maker’s favorite. Considering his expertise in the business I decided to try the 45-200E bullet. I’ve not been disappointed. I won’t list it as the most accurate but plenty so for field/truck carry. My first concern was its feeding so the […]

Recently I have been in debates about 10MM as personal protection. Unfortunately I seem to be the only one that thinks it is safe to carry 10MM for protection against 2 legged predators. There were three statements that continued to surface in these discussions, from those that vehemently disagreed with me on 10MM urban carry. […]
Our test loads are made up and ready, loaded in the magazines…cameras are set out and the chronograph is in the line of fire. Kyle is having flashbacks and starting to break out in a cold sweat…it’s now or never. Did I mention it’s hotter than a pistol out here? Ha! Let’s test this first […]
Thorsaxe sent me some of his .45 caliber SWCs cast from a Hensley and Gibbs (H&G) 130 clone. (It may not be an exact copy, but it’s pretty close.) I loaded these and shot them in my ATI FX Military 1911.

Yup…Video Editing…hey boys I was born before the muscle car era…we didn’t have no ‘stinking computers’! Ya know fellas, I got tired of passing on every subject I wanted to tackle on video with the iPhone 4 and editing software on my Mac…you boys have been putting some great video out and I’ve felt like […]
Today on Kentucky Ballistics we have ramen noodle body armor! How effective do you think it will be? I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
It's time to head back to the range. I loaded up some of the 225 grain RNFPs that I cast from my MP mold. This time I loaded them to a COAL of 1.172" instead of 1.222".
The ARMSCOR M1911A 380 is basically a miniature 1911 chambered in .380 AUTO. In this video I take it to the shooting range and put it’s first 50 rounds through it and go over the features. I take the gun apart to show the inside as well. Buffalo's OutdoorsIf you enjoy shooting firearms, this is […]
