9mm Pitbull saga Went to the range,today, and put 50 factory fresh Freedom Arms brass cased 124 GR RN FMJ, or plated?, through it. The revolver wasn'twasn't scrupulous clean, but not terrible. I shot my Tiger Match Champion with 125 plated BP (extreme bullets, 4.5 Bullseye) along side. The...

You have a Pitbull 9mm? I've bought one, about four months ago. I love shooting it... except for it little pains, especially with extraction... namely, IT WON'T ! I've used many different brands of ammo, and often get the best results with mild handloads with titegroup and cast 125 grain...

Cablela's store a-coming Nice book about Cabela's, and other similar corporations. It is called "Free Lunch" by Cay Johnston. Cabela's creates grand stores, but only after sucking as many tax breaks and corporate welfare grants they can possibly extract from local governments. They demand...

CM9 reliability I have bought a CM40. I love it, but it does have some issues. I screwed up and messed up the slide lock spring first time field stripping it. I am not even sure what to do right, or wrong. Freaks me out that I can't field strip it without a very delicate part getting...

CCW choices Oh, yeah, my P250 is a 2SUM, it has the full length version, and the subcompact. My above comments are about the subcompact. The full length is much bigger, and, of course, easier to aim, shoot, and feeds without a hitch. But, to conceal it, I'd have to gain a hundred...

CCW choices Own two PF9's, one Kahr CM40, one P250 40. You said price and pure functionality. Then, you are pretty much left with the PF 9. Smallest and cheap! The CM40 is not much more, and a bit nicer. They hit you good for magazines. My PF 9's just keep on working. The are just...

cartridge efficiency note When I surveyed most loads, just browsing data, I noticed that the military loads usually gave the better performance of energy for amount of powder burned, among most other rounds. I'm referring to specific shell casings that a military use versus a cartridge...

CZ downsides & upsides I've had my CZ 75 SP-01 "Shadow" for a few years. I think it is a bit heavy. Although, it has never failed to shoot any type of ammo, and do so well. Trigger is crisp, (although this is not the basic CZ). I have the kadet 22 adapter. You can barely feel a 22 go off...

Odd problems from your CZ 75. I bought one (CZ75 SP-01 shadow) a few years ago. I shoot Wolf, Hornady Critical Defense, reloads... I have NEVER found a load it doesn't digest. I've tried different springs, with little noticeable difference. It is my most reliable, accurate, and heaviest...

380 or 9mm CCW I nearly ALWAYS carry a poly 380. They are just much more likely to be with me. Either my P3AT or my S&W BG380. I have several 9mm's, including two PF9's. I'll carry those when I'm on the bad side of town, but still want good conceal. If concealing were only secondary...

Oh, I just remembered the vote, and topic so involved. I also own a BodyGuard 380. I love the grip, sighting and accuracy of the pistol. The laser is clumsy and not intuitive, but I can put a bullet right where it aims. I've sent the pistol back to S&W when the slide froze (I suspect the...

usefulness of compact pistols I've never shot a LCP, but know they copy the Kel-Tec P3AT in most ways. I own a chrome P3AT and PF9. I'd consider them extremely utilitarian, as accurate as can be expected, and more dependable than can be expected, for the price! Neither or much fun to...

380/ 38 special comparison Our originator said it all- he's accurate and comfortable with the 380, and not the 38 special. Most people can make a case for there being more power in your best 38 special loads. Good grief, look at the case size! It had better offer something for taking up all...

If you go to the CMP program website, they can link you to a rather extensive article on stock refinishing. I printed it out, and lost it. The go through multiple forms of stock refinishing, and mention the pros and cons of each. Tung oil had its good, and bad points. The stock refinisher in...

Guardian of my hand? I loved the Guardian, in the store. I bought a 32 version, prior to the newer 380 size. I soon found out that I was carrying a rock in my pocket, awfully heavy. It barked sharply and often left a bit of blood on a finger. Overall, it hurt to shoot and practice, and...
