I have an FNS-9. Agree on aftermarket availability issues, but have had none of the challenges other owners have reported. Mines a good shooter, solid built and reliable.

The red around the primer is sealant. Probably the same for the bullet.

NJ is pretty bad for gun rights, taxes and other areas. I learned the hard way.

Good morning all, I did a search on my topic, but didn't see an answer. Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I'm relatively new to reloading (9mm) and was prepping some once fired cases for reload. I was measuring using an inexpensive vernier caliper and noticed the length of some...

No one uses HS-6?

I've used HS-6 in 9mm, 38spec, 357Mag and 45ACP. Had good results in all, can't say I've noticed it being dirty. I've had a tough time finding it lately in 1 lbs container. 8 lbs would last me years.

Just finished "breaking in" my new SCCY CPX-2. First 50 rounds through the pistol were rough (using Magtech factory ammo), had a lot of failure to go into battery (not FTE or a true FTF - seemed to get stuck traveling up the feed ramp). Did a little research and made sure I kept a "locked" wrist...
