how many items can be made from one kit? Is there enough in one kit to make a full size 1911 handgun? (for holster molding)

If you've made your mold I would suggest finding out how much water it holds, then estimating that volume compared to the kit. I have embedded scrap to stretch the casting resin volume, but it will show unless a partial, cured pour keeps the scrap from touching outer surfaces.

Eric, I wish that I could help you with your question, but I am not using the safe for the storage of a handgun. It's got a pretty large storage area that you could customize by cutting the included foam to fit the profile of your 1911. If you can send me the LxHxW of the pistol, I will take some measurements of the safe's storage area.

There are only 3 dies. 'The die that seats the bullet can also be set for some crimp. Not as versatile as a dedicated die, but does all I need it to do...my cartridges go bang. I have two Lee Progressives set up for different calibers...they're a little temperamental but through a little trial and error you'll figure it out. I can putz around and make 125 to 150 rounds an hour...if I step it up, 175 to 200 rounds an hour. Pretty good for $160

There is a re sizing die in kit how ever I think your looking for a Lee sizer and lube die for cast bullets that way can lube and install gas check cap I have seen the lube and die kit for press on Amazon while back for around 40 bucks that will suit your needs better. A lot of casters sell cast bullets gas checked if wanting to shoot magnum loads if casting your own that's great to. Have fun and safe reloadinng

If you don't want to buy a new kit, you can use a regular round mold and shape it. if you don't know how to do it, just check Youtube for tutorials.

It can hold 4 full size handguns in two layers. The foam is not a "memory" foam . Once you press on it the foam will compress and stay that way. Overall it's a very well made case that can accommodate a carry pistol to full size 1911s.

if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge. If you are just getting started in reloading it was a good setup. I bought a digital scale and a few more dies and a turret spare because I reload rifle and pistol bullets and i did not want to reset the dies each time i used it. if you plan to reload more than a few hundred bullets i would just get the press and get the other components (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utFnbwtNoP0), digital grain scale, and a few dies, decapping pins, and primers, powder specific to the bullet being made. if you buy the kit you get the basic gear you need minus he caliber dies that will be needed for the type of bullet you want to make that is a separate charge.

Nothing other than dies for handguns (I reload .40S&W;). I also want to echo George B's comments about getting the 4-die set and another turret. The crimp die, I think, is a must (others may not) and the extra turret makes reloading multiple calibers easier -- one turret per caliber and swap them out as well as the shell casing holder. I did have to buy the rifle riser pass-through die and the auto disk doubling kit for .223. Keep that in mind when/if you reload rifle casings. Good luck and have fun. I really enjoy it once you have everything.

you can use youtube. I have had good results from Lee precision molds and dies. The lyman cast book is the best that I have found.

I have only used two kits with no problem. I suppose you could use four kits but that's a bit of an over kill.

Sorry, but they only make the American Legends for the Full Size 1911 frame as far as I can tell from their website. You could possibly modify them to fit your gun, but I wouldn't recommend it. Best thing would be to visit their website and contact them. They may have something coming in the future. http://pachmayr.com/home/

You need to get Lee dies for each caliber. I recommend the Lee 4 die pistol set.

They can be had to fit all sizes of 1911. My smallest is a Para Expert Compact, which has the same grip size as a full sized 1991, and that is the important measurement for fitting these. Just tell them which model 1911 you have when you order.

there are other things you can add to it, but I found it to be just perfect as it is. There is only enough product for one person. I have used this kit 4 times now over the last 5 years and will continue to use it.

Well.........I am not trying to rain on your parade, but many old school 1911 lovers (myself included) carry full size 1911s. That's not to say there is not a market for the compact size, but many collectors and concealed carriers are toting around full-sized, mil-spec weapons. The Colt Commander, Kimber Pro Carry II, Sig Sauer, etc....are all superb products and easier to carry, but most diehards still prefer full-sized. More than likely overcompensating....

I have two Bulldog Car safes. A small one will fit a Glock 19 or 23 plus a couple of mags. The larger one will fit both Glocks at the same time. So, the larger will definitely fit a full size 1911.
