Good choice! I bought my CX4 when they first came out in '03(serial #00065x) and it'll be the last one I sell. Its really accurate with 90gr. hollow points. Ive made numerous 75yard shots on whistle pigs using a cheap red dot.
On a side note: When someone starts a thread about buying a...
I've been curious and haven't heard/read any discussion on the issue but how are magazines for the AR "thumpers" regulated in States with magazine capacity restrictions? A standard 30rd USGI mag will only hold 10 rounds of .50 Beowulf. Would that magazine still be illegal if its intended use was...
There was a ND at a gun show here a few years ago. Apparently a person was test fitting holsters on their carry gun when it went off. Scary stuff when a ND happens in a tightly crowded area.
Agreed that mountain lions being mountain lions near humans/livestock is no bueno. The importance of predator management will vary from State to State. Id wager its more important for a State like Texas(with 96% of its territory being private property) than it is for a State like Idaho(with 30%...
Be careful of double tap ammo. The last 10mm rounds I sent through a chrono were 100fps below advertised velocity. Plus it was overpriced @$.85/round.
+1 on Underwood. Top notch company with a top notch product
You can't hunt on Sundays!? Sweet baby Jesus that is lame. You should move out West where there's less government control and States 70% public land.

I feel bad for my fellow hunters East of the Rockies.
The Fusion and SSTs are good deer bullets but wouldn't be my choice for elk. You might not run into any issues using those bullets on a broadside shot but if the elk is quartering towards or away from you, it would be wise to have a heavy, bonded bullet to penetrate the shoulder and heavy bone...
Not in stock, but heres 124gr@1350fps

They make some quality rounds. Ive chronoed their 9mm and 10mm and it matched if not exceeded their listed velocities.
There have been a few guys on berretaforum.net that have swapped a 9mm barrel into their 96 slide and some have run into extraction issues. I've done it on mine without issues but only shot a few dozen rounds. My understanding is that you cant put a 96 barrel into a 92 slide because the...
Here's a good video on Underwood ammo and what the velocities of the 10mm can do to a bonded bullet.

OP: If you want max penetration, man up and upgrade to the 10mm.

Agreed.
Even then, people have been hit in vitals and survived. As mentioned earlier, insurgents have been hit COM with 50bmg rounds and still fired at our troops. People have survived being shot point blank in the head and survived.
I'm no physicist, but I'm sure its a safe assumption that a 165gr fmj bullet weighs the same as a 165gr hollow point bullet. I'll even go out on a limb and say a 165gr rock weighs the same as the 165gr fmj and 165gr hp bullets.
Personally, I stay away from Double Tap. Their advertised velocities seem great but in a decent amount of instances, other board members have chronographed the velocities at 100 and sometimes 200fps slower than advertised velocities in full size 10mm firearms. That is absurd, especially...
