Thanks, peeps.

Hello, I'm aware of the use of small pistol primers in .45acp for some years now. I've never used them due to my vast supply of cases I've accumulated. I debated finding some SPP cases when LPPs were harder to find, but ultimately didn't need to. So zero experience. I just ordered and...

https://shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com/cm9-cm9093/ It says it's a hammer-cocking DAO. Does it not have a hammer, either?

When I carried a 9mm, I generally used a +P loading of the Gold Dot bullet, whether by Speer or someone else. Prior to the GD, I used CorBon. I'm currently deciding on a compact 9mm, and, when I decide on one, I'll probably test it primarily with Gold Dot Short Barrel if they still make it.

Hello, I have an LCP II and I really like it. It's handy for going armed in places/situations one of my 1911s would prove too cumbersome. That said, I'd really like a step up in power from the .380. Specs I'm looking for: - 9x19 - polymer - single stack - hammer fired (shrouded or bobbed) -...

I sub at my kids' schools. I had worked at the schools before the kids were born (and before my business was born.) I missed it, and started going back occasionally. The kids decided they like me, so I now try to get over there 2-3 times per week. I can assure you that this rural school is...

I might have referenced the wrong article. I was reading a couple. Will check and correct. Thanks for the catch 👍

Back when I was playing with long-range .22lr, I used the D Rock tool, described here https://www.rimfirecentral.com/threads/d-rock-22-caliber-bullet-sizer-review.345231/ and used it on CCI Subsonic loads. My rifle rifle is a Savage stainless with heavy barrel and +20moa scope mount...

Even if it doesn't detonate, chances are it's inconsistent if run over a chrono. Use a filler for cat sneeze loads: (URL deleted because it was the wrong one, and I can't find the right one again 🙄)

You got arrested for that? I feel story time is in order..

That thing evokes all sorts of emotions... 🤮🤮

It's a pressure designation.

Eh, no.
