I can settle for finicky if I can find some ammo that works. I wouldn't claim success with the two brands that didn't have failures after only 50 rounds of each. Only after a few hundred rounds without a failure will I feel better about the gun.
New republic is a FMJ but it is somewhat cone shaped.
Yes, Federal is very round as is the Speer Lawman. The Winchester that i tried are FMJ flat nose.
Winchester (50 rounds - three failures), Federal (50 rounds, one failure) and Speer Lawman (400 rounds, 9 failures). All FMJ 95 grain.
Precision One XTP and New Republic were clean but i have only shot one box each of these. I am hoping these might be the ticket as the bullet shape is...
I bought a CCP in 380 in February. It is very soft shooting, the slide racks easily, and fits my hand nicely. In my opinion it is not reliable enough for carry purposes. I have counted 13 failures to feed the last or next to last round out of 600 rounds fired. It has been back to Walther but it...
I renewed mine. It is easier to renew than it is to have to apply for a new permit if I let it expire and later change my mind.
It is annoying that I need a new set of fingerprint cards for the renewal.
If you can see the holes you could also read the numbers.
top rifle says: 99 type
(same symbol twice is the clue)
bottom says 38 type
(first symbol has three lines - that's a three)
I figure that I tallied about 1000 miles (150 hours) of running with that setup.
With a smaller, lighter gun like a Ruger LCP it would be much easier to find a workable solution.
Sounds right. Those 4 digits (plus suffixes?) indicate the pistol number built by that manufacturer in that particular year.
So a Erfurt/1918 might have a serial number of 1234. There is also likely a DWM/1918 with a serial number 1234. And possibly a Erfurt/1918 with a serial number 1234a.
The FN Reflex is very similar in size to the SIG P365. Being hammer fired it is supposedly easier to rack than the SIG P365. I have no personal experience with the Reflex but it might be worth a look.
I have a Blackhawk! fanny pack that I have used successfully with a G27 when running. It has to be super tight to keep it from bouncing. A lighter gun in a belly band carries much better when running.
There is something that is "just right" about the open top bolt on the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1A and Mini 14/30. The nostalgia is a big attraction for me. I won't argue with anyone that there might be more accurate, reliable, efficient, adaptable or cheaper options.
