Funny thing. I went shooting yesterday with my .40 Sig and my "1991 A1" Colt. At one point I grabbed a round and tried to put it in the .40 mag. Wouldn't fit. Pulled off my glasses. Oh yeah--a .45 round will not fit in a .40 mag.

So I made the same mistake--backwards.

Good thing--the 1991 is now worth ~$1500 due to custom work.

My eyesight is getting really bad. Both boxes of ammo looked the same in the dim light and a couple rounds had rolled out of the .45 box. Yeah; I should not have had them both on the bench at the same time. My bad.

I shot good with the .45; good with my .22 ruger; AWFUL with the sig. My eyeballs just are now having trouble with the white-dot sights. G**d getting old is rotten.

--Boris, both guns intact; some targets left in range trash can!

I once caught myself stuffing a .357 SIG round into a BHP .40 mag. Apparently I'd stuck it in the wrong box while cleaning up, the last time I went shooting.
