Sounds like if you stick to standard pressure they eject pretty reliably. I don't use plus p in 9mm so it might be a good option for me. Not reassuring the plus p is sticking but I could see that being the only issue. If you read places that will convert .357s to 9mm they say plus p will stick...

Tallball. Those look a lot like the factory ruger moon clips, do they seem any tighter then the factory to you. Rock185 I'm pretty sure the old sp101s use different size clips from what I've seen in product descriptions. Cfullgraf are you planning on getting tkcustom ones soon? You don't use hst...

That is a nice looking carrier. That is how I currently carry my spare 2, does take up a good bit less space like that in my already crowded shirt pockets. Still no issues with function after a pretty rough life in my shirt pocket on my chicken farm. I might send tk an email, do you know if...

mongoslow whats it like reloading? Would loading from an auto mag work well? What about extraction is it reliable/quick? I have a sp101 9mm and really like the moon clips as far as quick reloads but have been interested in the pitbull for the not needing moon clips.

Does anyone know if these will fit the new style sp101 9mm or of any other after markets that do? https://tkcustom.com/products/moonclips/ruger-sp-101x5-9mm-032-ss I have been carrying mine for around a year now with 2 loaded ruger moon clips in one of my shirt pockets. I expected them to get...

Dudedog I bought the first magnet while I was ordering the tumbler, sounds like its good I did. I already have that media separator too, do the pins not fly everywhere when using it? Will tumbling with pins after brass has been sized and expanded cause any problems?

I was wondering the same thing about the flash holes Random 8, are you using 9mm capsules? I have used the factory shot shells in 38 and .22 and found the .22 ones even decent on snakes and more then enough on mice, would just be handy to keep some in my shirt pocket. Would just buy factory but...

Would like to have some shot shells for my 9mm sp101 as its what I always carry around my farm but can't find anywhere to buy any. Has anyone ever made any, I'm thinking it would be easier to get something to work in a revolver then a semi although it would be nice to be able to use it in my...

I went ahead and ordered the frankford one that comes with the pins. From everything I have read in comments I think I'm going to start by tumbling my running my dirty brass in just water and some Dawn (always have that around anyways). Then I'll deprime and size my brass on my lee load master...

Looks like I'm going to have to start reloading again, got plenty of supplies from when I stopped reloading several years ago (I reloaded to attempt to save money and so I would have an option when ammo was hard to get, don't know about saving any money but glad I have the supplies now) and I'm...

I feel like most revolvers I shoot do this to some extent, especially some .357 rounds in my .357s, just when ever you search on it 1/2 the people swear up and down it must be a timing issue and none of theirs do it. I know 9mm is a pretty high pressure round (in comparison to .38 special) so...

I have had this issue with revolvers before and when ever I do a search alot of people say the offending revolver must be out of time. My sp101 9mm is peppering me in face especially when using ppu 115 and to a much lesser extent wwb 115. I fired a full cylinder of ppu 115 into a 55 gallon drum...

Heheh, yeah I have a tendency to find any small problem with something and dwell on it, just wanted to hear others opinions on it.

Been a while since I have been on here and I had a post about my experience with this barrel but there is one think I keep wondering about. http://faxonfirearms.com/16-taper-9mm-pistol-caliber-carbine-blowback-4150-qpq/ . I have an an AR9 with the barrel from the above link, when I got it the...

Does it leave kind of a grey residue at the end of your xd? It does on my taurus g2 pt111, have shot hundreds to thousands of these loads from that gun, and it leaves a gray residue. I think it just wipes off but it doesn't bother me so I don't bother cleaning it off.
