New Revolver

[Hondo 60]

Reloaders HATE to lose brass!
Well, atleast this reloader does.

How to stop from losing semi-auto brass?
Get a revolver!!!

SO here she is, a Taurus Model 905B2, 9mm

I'll post again after going to the range. (It's raining so it might be a couple of days)

I had the sister to that in 38 Spl many years ago. Worked great. In 9mm it should be a nice shooter.

Keep us updated. Ive been on the look out for a similar little gun for quite a while, seems none of the shops around me ever bring them in.

Looks good!

Went to the range in the rain today.
I shot off 50 rounds.

Recoil was about what I expected, it was there, but not uncontrollable.
I was able to hit the target, no ragged one-hole groups. (lol)
But accuracy was acceptable for me.

I did have one issue. It liked to not fire one round per cylinder.
A 2nd strike did fire the round.
Now was that an ammo issue? Was it an issue with one chamber?
Was it an issue with one of the stellar clips?

I made the ammo myself this morning.
And have NOT had any issues like this before.

As I told my nephew today, DARN, that'll require more range time to get to the bottom of this

Hondo, I've heard good and bad about the factory moon clips, what are your impressions?

If you decide you dont like it ill buy it off ya on the cheap

 

[Hondo 60]

well I've carried a reload for several days, and the clips are hanging onto the ammo so far.
I've heard several video reviews that claim they're too flimsy, but that hasn't been my experience.

I've only had it for a couple of days, but so far so good.

xxjumbojimboxx - nah, not happening

Cute little wheelie.

A 2nd strike did fire the round.

Maybe the primers are not seated deeply enough? First strike of the hammer "seats" them properly and the second strike sets them off? Just something that the gentlemen at my local reloading shop suggested that I check when I had an issue a few months ago.

Try firing factory ammo without the clips and see if they all fire the first time. If not, note the chamber. If so, inspect the clip(s)

 

[B!ngo]

Maybe I missed this but I presume that the failure did not always occur in the same cylinder? Did you mark the cylinder while shooting to be sure? (they tend to all look the same to me!).
