Arcus 94 and +p ammo. Happy together or recipe for disaster?

[RightIsRight]

Is +p or +p+ OK to use in the Arcus 94 Hi Power clone?

The manual just gives the warning not to use reloads.

The Arcus website isn't much help either.

I just cleaned the cosmoline off mine and was going to air it out tomorrow. But I lost one of those tiny grip screws Maybe the Home Depot has something with similar threads...

home depot does not.

the local industrial supply will, or know where you can get one.


do you have a thread pitch gauge?

Hi there, RightisRight.

You can get new grip screws from CDNN, and they are pretty inexpensive, last time I looked.

Ah, there they are. A bit tricky to find, under grips/Browning/Hogue. These are made by Hogue, but should work fine. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/browhipautfi.html

Also noteworthy are thier 17 and 15 round South African magazines.

EDIT: whoops, I completely ignored the +P question. HPs are generally regarded as a pistol that you wouldn't want to shoot a lot of +P through, although I doubt it would hurt it. Keep in mind that +P will accelerate wear on any pistol, though.

Well......Ill explain my train of thought and you can take it for what its worth...........European guns, like the CZ/Arcus/Fillintheblank....are made to NATO spec ammo and pressures. Most NATO spec ammo is in the +P range and from what I can tell the Arcus is the heaviest made BHP on the market.

Ive got a 94 that I just got back from having its triggerectomy and its SWWEETT!..........It will become a ccw for me and shoot +P+.....of course it will have Wolff Springs in it.......as added insurance.

Shoot well.

Where did you get your trigger work done?

A local place that specializes in 1911's.......when I got my gun its sear was broken and the trigger sucked! I just dropped it off to have them check it out. They found the sear problem and got a free one from the distributor as a replacement part. Total cost 55$ for a 4# breaks like glass" trigger job...........way nice..

I dont think they take mail in work.......but its called Barlows Custom Guns.
801-973-4788.....................

Shoot well.
