Yes it wasn't about the pistol. I just wanted to point out what Jeff said about the BB brass. Quinn said "examining the fired cases showed no signs of excessive pressure."
By normal math, a 90 grain bullet at 1175fps would generate 275.98 fpe.
BB has a lot of figures thrown around on their website...they always do. Interestingly enough, nowhere do I see 1175fps listed for their .380acp 90 grain JHP. The first figure shown is 1200fps for 288fpe. If you read further down, that appears to be from the guy's 3.75" barrel Browning...not exactly a pocket pistol like the LCP or P3AT. Then they go down and list "their world" figures from four different pistols of varying barrel length.
K-T P3AT at Goldon Loki doesn't have figures for BB, but they do show:
Corbon 90grain JHP at 950fps for 181fpe and Corbon 80grain XTP at 956fps for 162fpe.
BB's website says he gets 1100fps from his K-T P3AT, that would be 241.87fpe. I remain skeptical.
Don't know about bb .380, but when we tested their .38+P from my smith snubbie we actually got better velocity than they claimed. Those same loads from a 4" were getting into the .357 range. Good ammo.
I carry Buffalo Bore in both my Micro Desert Eagle and my P-3AT.
I only carry two rounds of it in each pistol, one in the chamber and the top round in the magazine and the next five rounds in the magazine are PMC fmj.
I have shot enough of it to know it is reliable in both guns.
When I carry my PM9 it is stoked with Gold Dot +P for short barrels.
