Just got back from the range where I did my second round of tests with my relatively new (about 400 rounds) SS Bobcat. 1. MiniMags, which all my other autos love, follow a pattern: First shot cycles partway, leaving the slide about 1/4" shy of closing. I push this with my thumb, and the rest...

I've found that being careful about loading the magazine is important. At first I was pulling the slide on down and dumping the ammo in, which is a good way to experience rim lock. I also clean the chamber and slide face with CLP now and then when I shoot a lot.

They ARE loads of fun. They build skills, they're very cheap to shoot, and they're versatile. I find mine effortless to pocket carry. I'm going to pick up some bright orange paint, either Testor's or, if I can't find it, some nail polish.

Nice work. It looks factory applied. I'll see if I can pick up some Testor's paint locally.

My front sight is currently white, modified by the previous owner. However, it's easy for it to drop out in some lighting conditions. I'm thinking about painting it red or some other bright color, or simply returning to black. Any suggestions? Also, any suggestions on how to get white paint...

You're welcome. Let us know how it goes. I'm trying to shoot a mag or two a day through mine, for practice. That's one of the perks of living out in the country.

O.K., I've selflessly spent a few hours doing a whole bunch of chronograph testing on my new to me Bobcat.:) Below are the results. Please bear in mind that I'm no ballistics expert, and my chronograph isn't perfect. For example, sometimes my chrono will display real helpful info, such as...

Hey neighbor. Nice pic. What kinds of ammo do you shoot out of your Bobcat?

We used to load shot cartridges with #9 birdshot for my dad's .357 magnum. Do you load your own?

Excellent. Thanks for the tip.

"Thanks for the reminder boatdreamer! Mine goes in the pocket tomorrow morning..... " Right on. We've got livestock and free range chickens. The chickens are highly susceptible to predation. When something gets into them, there's no time to go fetch a gun, then see what's up. It's hot...

"My point is that if you can find the proper holster, you can get FAR better accuracy with a 22LR target pistol..." Good point. I can certainly hit my targets easier with my Ruger. There's always a tradeoff between bulk and ability.

Great posts people. Could someone tell me how to insert quotes? I can't figure it out, and it's driving me nuts.

"Too bad it would ALWAYS jam with the 2nd to last round in the mag (Tried several mags, and many types of ammo.)" That's pretty bizarre. You didn't get hexed by anyone, did you?

"will these cycle with normal federal bulk?" So far mine will, but I've only tried a few magazines worth. Federal bulk ammo is my preferred cheap ammo, so I'm going to give it a good try. I've discovered that loading the magazine properly is important. At first, I was pulling the slide down...

I've shot a few Velocitors through my Bobcat, and they cycled fine. It's hard to go wrong with CCI. I've found, though, that Velocitors aren't nearly as speedy in my guns as advertised-under 1300 fps in one of my rifles. Still, it's a 40 grain bullet, and targets don't have built in...

I think the Bobcat can serve as a worthwhile concealed carry gun for many people, including myself. My reasoning is that, like most people, I'm fortunate enough to live in a safe and secure environment. I don't live in or frequent high crime areas, and I don't have people or groups who are...

I checked out np3 on the link that harqueb.us provided, and it looks like the bomb when it comes to low maintenance reliability. Do they coat the interior of the barrel too? How good a trainer does the Bobcat make for the Tomcat? I'll be delighted when I can nail soda cans at 25 yards.:) I...

Right on. Remington CeeBees might be a good choice for that kind of work, regardless of gun. It's basically a CB cap that's based on Remington's yellowjacket. It has a long rifle case, a truncated cone, a big fat hollow point, and four cut marks in the crown. The idea is a CB cap that...

I've never handled a Tomcat. Word on the net is that their frames can easily become cracked. Do you know anything about that, Dogguy? I would think that Berretta would be working furiously on a solution. A bobcat and a tomcat would make a neat combination. I'm amazed at how easy this gun...
