I'm usually carrying one of three: 1. Glock 26 in a White Hat Holster 2. Kahr CM9 in a Crossbreen MiniTuck 3. Ruger SP101 2.25" Barrel in a Remora.

+1 Despite having a little trouble with mine I feel confident that with a little tinkering you could get it squared away.

Occurs to me I was thinking about a different gunshop. I apologize to the Armory.

Both my Dad and I have owned PF9's neither of us are particularly thrilled with them. Me especially being a left handed shooter the gun would be more effective thrown at the bad guy. Especially now with the Kahr CM9 being in the same price range (give or take 100$), I don't see why you'd go for the PF9. With that said however, I think the P3AT's are pretty quality for a BUG or for a bug-out bag gun. And frankly, I'd give a kidney for a KSG.

Yeah very similar story. Just got the email that it's shipped. Sweeeeet.

Hmm... I don't remember you shooting my glock... 26? You were CCWing it when you get there and was shooting a Glock 19 I believe....

I just pulled the trigger and ordered a Walther PPQ... anyone else got one of these? I had the opportunity to shoot one out at CHMR and.... well it was the nicest, smoothest, most comfortable polymer handgun I have ever shot. Right now they are unbelievable reasonably priced on Bud's...so I had to. Anyone got a line on magazines??

I'm gonna be down in Little Rock this week Monday - Friday, wondered if anyone knew a good range open after 5:30, where I could go scare some paper after work? Thanks guys!

+1 If you're nashville based, I have one you're more than welcome to run a few through.

Not sure if you're looking for recommendations but I have a Kahr CM9 and it's hands down the BEST pocket 9 I've ever shot. If you're nashville based I'd be willing to meet up and let ya plink a but with it.

Oh yeah, I agree. The PPQ is more along the lines of the G19, the PPS is closer to... well not the 26, maybe a Kahr or something. I looked at the PPS before I bought my Glock 26... Both are great guns.

I had the opportunity to shoot a PPQ over at CHMR the other day. And damnit, it's going to be my next gun. Easily, the nicest polymer striker fired handgun I've ever squeezed the trigger of, and I'm typically a Glock guy. It made me look like a better shooter than I really am.

Great thread guys. Thanks for all the info.

Thinking about mounting them? They'd be great xmas ornaments.

Oh my god, this thread is too funny. I'd try it if I didn't think my neighbors would shoot back.

And you're right about Primers... soon as I've got some more $ I'll pick up a few thousand.

Yeah, just interested to a degree. I wanna know if my ammo does one thing, what I can do to increase, or decrease that effect.... I'm gettin there.

What all is required?? I'm currently unemployed (looking for a job) but once I have a source of income again I may be interested in trying that for everything but my Glocks.

Yeah, at this point in my shooting career, I'm just looking for the ability to send rounds down range at a little more affordable rate than going to Wally World every time and spending 60$ on ammo. I also like the ability to manufacture ammo when/if commercial ammo supplies get harder to come by/expensive. -a

Very cool, thanks.

Yeah, if you huff it though it'll get you crazy high. (kidding)

Just going by the book, I'll be shooting these out of my 2 1/4" SP101 so I imagine I'll lose some velocity because of the barrel length. :-( Mostly I was just trying to figure out how the ammo "worked." I process a lot of film (color and b&w) by hand... once I knew the mechanics I was able to control my film to an incredible degree. I find a lot of similarities here.... Except film can't kill ya I guess.

Thanks Dolomite, Figured id hear from you. Thanks. You explained exactly what I needed to know. And, yeah I load from my manual. The Richard Lee manual gives me 6.2gr not to exceed 6.8gr for my 158gr lswc. Right now my powder measure is throwing 6.3-6.4. I actually have 115gr fmj that I'm loading now. It's the manual says 5.1gr not to exceed 5.5gr for my 9mm.

So, I've been reloading 9mm for a while now, just got a .357 wheel gun and picked up the dies and some bullets today. I was looking over my reloading manual and the charges for the two calibers are about the same. I'm loading 158gr LSWC in the 357 and 124gr FMJ's in the 9mm...both of these loads are calling for in the neighborhood of 6.0 - 6.2gr of Unique... With my Lee Auto Disk I'm getting it in the neighborhood of 6.0 - 6.3 grains depending on the throw... Can someone explain to me how the pressures work for these loads. How am I getting pretty close to equal feet per second, with the two calibers? Not to mention when I am using a significantly heavier bullet in the .357 than in the 9mm. To be clear, I am loading safely and methodically, I just am a newbie, and unfamiliar with ballistics and ammunition sciences. So if someone could give me a crash course on pressures I'd be really appreciative. -a
