Any Para-Ordnance aficionado's out there? I tried to find out from Para whether the 9mm mags that come in the P18.9 are large enough for 9x23. Not feeling the love. Anyone here know? Regards

Well, I shoot an XDm 9 in production USPSA, which has a 19 round double stack magazine, and have no problems. Granted, it's plastic, but the marketese on the STI website makes a big deal about the fact that the 2011 uses a plastic mag well to allow it to keep the grip size close to that of a...

JTQ, My understanding is that Tanfoglio manufactures the Witness with two different frames, with one having a smaller mag well than the other. For Europe, they almost always build 9x19 variants with the smaller mag well, and associated mag, to make it feed more reliably, but they can and will...

Just to be sure I understand you, you're saying that the 9x19 magazines, that come with the 9x19 caliber version, will fit and feed all of those longer 9mm variants?

LOL. Bigger bang. Bigger hole. Again, and again, and again ... (x19)

Zak, That's really good info. So, any reason why I couldn't pick up a stock STI 2011 in 9x19 and just ream the chamber and swap out the recoil spring? I'm still concerned about OAL tolerance of the magazine, and the ability to reliably set off rifle primers, which some have recommended for...

hardluk, These are the reasons I have >tentatively< decided to start with a 9mm.

Sounds like it would be fun for the occasional trip to the firing range, but not very practical.

Thanks for replying, Zak. I certainly see my share of STI's at USPSA matches. To be honest, I hadn't taken a close look at them yet, as I tended to equate that brand with "race gun", which this firearm is not intended to be. I checked their website and they seem to have an offering not all...

JW, Not necessarily. I'm looking for a fun project that will yield a good HD/SD pistol. I was not aware of the 9x25 until your post. My initial reaction is to say that the 9x23 seemed to be a good balance: mag capacity of a 9mm Luger combined with the ballistics of a 357 magnum. Seems the...

Mastiff, Is there anything that recommends the Tokarev over a 1911 or CZ75 pattern guns as a starting point for a 9x23 conversion? The fact that a 9x19 barrel can be reamed to 9x23 isn't really a differentiator, right? I can get any of these guns in 9mm Luger.

Thanks for the input, Mastiff. After seeing your post, I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_pistol. Intriguing. Sounds like the barrel/slide lock-up would be really solid on that design. Where is a good place to buy a TT-33? Can they be had new?

Hi everyone, I've been reading about the 9x23, and have become intrigued. I have a friend already pursuing the conversion of a 1911 to this caliber, and am contemplating doing a conversion of my own. I've done a lot of web research, and have narrowed the choice of convertible firearms down...

I know I'm posting a bit late to this thread, but I thought I would add what I have learned about the Hornady PTX, for the sake of those who find this thread while researching the product. I have the Hornady PTX for my LNL-AP. I immediately had problems with it. To be clear, the part I have...
