9mm

Hello all, "newbie" here. I just purchased a Star BM 9mm. Overall pretty good cosmetic shape for a surplus gun, but it's the first I've ever seen of this model; bought it based on very positive posts on many forums and YouTube videos. So my question - I noticed that there's a little "free...

Which currently made semi-auto pistol caliber carbine would you want if you were in the market for one? Chambered for any auto-loading centerfire pistol cartridge, but many in the poll are 9mm only. What I've listed are 16"+ barreled versions. Please add comments about SBR versions if that is...

Outdoor Hub Article - PSA5 Released at Shot Show 2018, Palmetto State Armory MP5 Clone. Can't wait to see about pricing and whether they will sell individual parts as well, so one can assemble one as they desire. Here's hoping that they come out with a 9-10" barrel assembly with a faux...

For a long time now, I've awaited buying my first handgun. Now that I've finally gotten myself out of the cesspool known as New York, I can finally do that! Not sure on a carry gun, but my new place is fairly small and I wanted something quick to deploy for home defense. So a full-sized handgun...

I have been searching the internet for days and i have not been able to find any reloading recipes for federal bullets. While federal bullets are not sold new as components, they are sold as pulled demilitarized or old stock. I purchased some federal hi-shok and hydra-shok for plinking before I...

I have no real 1911 experience or knowledge and was wondering if Rock Island makes a decent 1911 in 10mm. I have a glock 20 and thought this would make more sense for me than a .45 which I don't shoot. Even a 9mm variant would make more sense for me. Being a 1911 I am guessing I would be able...

I wanted to get most of my reloading needs taken care of before I retired when my wife's and my income will drop. I'm nearly there. But during the shortages of the last few years, I was in the mode of "see powder, buy powder" and so I've got something of a mixed bag when it comes to pistol...

About two years ago, now, I bought a box of 115 grain jacketed hollow-point bullets for 9mm from the Magnus Bullet company. The bullets looked great but I was concerned that they were all measuring 0.3555 or larger, many 0.356. I contacted them and they said to just use jacketed load data like...

Hey pals. So, I now have a registered AR-15 SBR. I would like to acquire a 9mm shorty upper. If I had my druthers, it would be like the Colt 9mm SMGs of yesteryear. Like this ... Or even better, the DOE version, like this ... Is there any outfit producing a complete upper like either...

As many have elsewhere posted, it seemed in the run-up to Christmas, Gander Mountain raised all the prices in their retail stores. The one exception seemed to be powder and primers which were no higher than any place else in the area (and in some cases, cheaper). After they were sold and...

So I have an oppertunity to pick one up in excellent condition for a very very good price, but have no experience with this gun. I have owned a few Taurus revolvers with varying degrees of fit and finish, but really don't have any experience with their autoloaders. Any insight at all would be...

I have the 5906 and admire it, but my real love is the S&W 659. Back when I really wanted a S&W 59 nickel-plated pistol, I was taken back by all the negative information. Gun store employees told me that S&W made excellent revolvers, but to steer clear of their centerfire pistols because they...

As most probably know, P226 in 9mm uses the #8 front sight while in 40S&W - #6 front sight, which is 0.28mm taller than #8, while the rear sights are the same (#8) - see: https://www.realgunreviews.com/sig-sauer-sight-heights-sight-numbers/ The question is why then Glock 17 and 22 use exactly...

Hey pals. So, I had to go up to the city today on business and on the way out of town I stopped at a LGS because I had the time. They had a Mitchell Arms stainless steel Luger P08 there on consignment. I handled it and seriously considered just buying it at the $1,000 (even) they were asking...

Ok guys, new member here and new to reloading... really new. I got me a press, some brass, some dies, bullets and all the fun stuff. Read a couple of books and searched all over the net for the last few months. BTW, just cause it's on the Internet does not mean its true... Here is my setup Lee...

Hi all, Not too long ago, I was gifted an assortment of SD ammo in 9mm and .38 special from a neighbor. Some of this stuff looks to be from the early 90s, and the box art is very entertaining. Two boxes in particular caught my eye - one of the legendary Black Talon, and one of Winchester...

This is not a thread asking about the cost savings of reloading 9mm. I am new to hand loading but I've been loading long enough to know I'll save money. My question is do you think it's worth the time? Currently I only load for revolver (38,44) so brass retrieval is not an issue. It seams like...

Intelligent individuals. Im fairly experienced at reloading but I've just started casting for 38 special and 9mm. Load build up for 38 special went swimmingly but as far as I understand, 38 Special is fairly easy to cast for because of lower case pressures. 9mm is where I've gotten hung up. I...

I have my research done on going to a new caplier. 9mm. I have a long list of 5 different selections and a short list of 2. This is for an EDC and I prefer SA/DA. My list is either a Bersa 9 Pro UC or a Beretts Storm PX 4 Compact. What is everyone's thoughts on these two pistols.
