Try adding a Hogue Handall overgrip. It does a lot to tame the recoil.

Thanks for the info!

My local gun shop took in a Carpathia 380 acp made in Romania as a trade in on an LCP. They want $225 for it which I think is way too much - looks more like a $49 gun. Can't find any info on Carpathia firearms. Does anyone know anything about this gun or manufacturer?

I bought a FNP-45 a few weeks ago and love it. Only problem was finding a light load for target shooting. The FNP-45 has a stronger recoil spring than my other 45's which function well with 4.0 grs Bullseye and 200 gr lead round nose flat points. I eventually had to go up to 5.2 grs Bullseye...

The problems I noted were with CCI and Remington primers. I just got some Winchester primers and will try them.

I load 45acp at least once a week using mixed brass picked up at the range. I've noticed that if I have a primer that goes in really hard, it's almost always a Winchester case. No idea why. In fact a couple of years ago I got mad, sorted my brass, and threw all the Winchester 45's away. I've...

I have two Pro 1000's and load 380acp, 9mm, 357mag, 10mm, 45acp, and 45LC with them. I've concluded they're sort of a tinkerers loading press. There are a lot of things can can go wrong while loading with them and you really have to pay attention to what you're doing. I wouldn't recommend a Pro...

Amen to that! The dumbest possum I ever killed had the misfortune of climbing into an empty garbage can in my garage. After figuring out what was making all the noise, I put the barrel of Ruger 10/22 against the center of his skull and pulled the trigger. Still took him three minutes to stop...

I bought a FNP-45 yesterday and took it to the range with some light loads that I've used successfully in my 45 ACP Colt Gold Cup, Taurus 24/7 Millenium Pro, and Witness 45. Either 4.0 grs of Bullseye or Red Dot behind 200 gr lead RNFP's or 230 gr lead Round noses. None of these loads would...

I paid $29.99 + tax for 1000 Winchester LPP's last night at a local gun shop. Last week paid $33.95 + tax per 1000 Remington LPP's for 4000 at Cabela's in Dundee MI. I was happy to get them! Small pistol primers have been impossible for me to find - down to my last 250.

I have to agree. The first time I reloaded 380's I crushed a bunch. Got the Lee Pro 1000 set up perfect now and loaded 150 Sunday in under an hour.

I went to your website yesterday looking for 90-100gr 380's.

What great service!!! I just placed my third order last night and it has shipped already. My last Berry's order took 3 weeks and they now are saying 4-6 weeks before they ship. Keep up the good work!

I'm on the road this week and have been looking for pistol primers. First stop - Sunday: Jay's Sporting Goods in Clare, MI. The lower shelves were pretty much empty. Got the last 500 Winchester Large Pistol Primers. There were over 150,000 Magnum Federal Match Large and Small Pistol Primers in...

Thanks for the input. I'll try prying it open with a screwdriver. If that doesn't work I'll call Royce.
