    Alliant e3 in 38 Special

    I've used e3 for 9mm & .40 for uspsa and idpa. Makes nice light recoiling loads and burns very clean.

    Light weight .44mags

    Just for reference. I am 6'2" and 185# with slim athletic build and Large hands. The Model 69 is pretty pleasant to shoot with full house magnums. The 629 Mtn. Gun is about the same although seems to have more muzzle flip even though it weighs more. The 329PD Scandium is a hand breaker with...

    Light weight .44mags

    I've put 50 rounds of full house magnum thru my Model 69 in one sitting (X-frame grips installed) and was not bad at all. For reference these were a mix of 240's @1375, 180's @1600, and a www 300's@~1200.

    Light weight .44mags

    I have a 69 as my lightweight powerhouse trail gun. I've had a couple 629 Mtn. guns as well. Totally prefer the 69. It handles better, is lighter, and is far more accurate than either of the 629 Mtn. Guns I had. Out of the 69 a 240gr XTP @ 1350 is a nice solid load. I've shot 300 and 320 gr WFN...

    Reliability of Pocket 9's Kel-Tec PF9 vs Kahr CM9 vs Diamondback DB9

    I frequently Appendix carry or pocket carry a CM9. Contrary to Kahr's owners manual mine did not take 200 rounds to break in. I have about 500 rounds thru it now including 147gr HST, 124+p Gold Dot, 9BPLE (+p+ 115gr) and it has been flawless! It astounds me that a pistol this small can be so...

    Best Value for Glock RMR Slide Milling?

    Suarez International has done a G21 and a G23/32 for me. ~ten day turn around both times. $130 plus they offer Ameriglow standard and tritium suppressor sights. Also offer package deals if you buy your RMR from them. Very happy with both my experiences with them...

    9mm pocket pistol

    Not in a pocket though right? OP is asking about pocket pistol. I agree GP100 is a great revolver but even a bobbed 3" is ~38oz. Far too heavy and large for pocket carry. I find 20oz to be about as much as I want to carry in a pants pocket and 13-15oz is even better.

    Looking for a Smith

    There are still S&W Model 28 Highway Patrol's to be found for mid $500ish. I picked up one (4") P&R a few years ago for $500. You can't beat these for quality for the money.

    9mm pocket pistol

    I worked in a gun store in the mid 90's and gave my brother a P11 I bought for him. He has had it and carried it since then ('95?) without issue. We've both shot it a lot including +p and +p+. He still has it and carries it daily. Needed one extractor in that time (from dry firing which is a...

    9mm pocket pistol

    Would highly recommend the Kahr CM9. Robust, accurate, and a really decent trigger.

    Burned- Spyderco experts chime in..

    Fake. The jimping on the thumb ramp does not have the slight backward angle of an authentic PM2. Also Typo Chinglish writing is a dead giveaway.
