I'm thinking about keep a spare gun in my car in a bolted down strong box. However, I'm concerned about how the reliability of the ammo might be effected when exposed to sub-freezing temps in the winter and 100+ degrees in the summer. Thoughts? Ideas?
I've been told by more than one person that a 230grn bullet shot out of a 5" barrel is best that one can expect for the .45ACP caliber. These same people have said that from a 4.25" barrel one would be better served with a 200grn, or lighter, bullet rather than the 230grn and that neither one...
Pretty much identical except for the trigger guard which MIGHT be an issue with regards to holsters.

Hey, DMK. We both joined on exactly the same day :) If I boil it, how do I make sure that the inside is dry when I'm done and will not rust? Same for the spring? Just dry iy with a cloth? Can't dry the inside with a cloth because I can't even get in there or see an drops of water.
Sig Sauer P239...
I took the mags apart and used Q-tips but I don't think that I got all of it out as I had trouble reaching the middle of the mags. How about taking the mags apart and soaking them in gasoline?
I just noticed that the inside of some of my magazines have cosmoline in them. Could this have negative impact on the reliability of the ammo? Also, how do I clean the inside of the mags?
Let me re-clarify what I was trying to say. I didn NOT mean to take the existing PPK design and rechamber it for a 9mm.
What I was trying to say is that given the fact that there are 9mm pistols the size of the PPK (Kahr PM9, MK9, Colt Pocket Nine, etc.), I would like to see something the...
Why can't they make the PPK in a 9mm?
The PPS is the same size (although different shape) as a PPK. The Kahr MK9 is about the same size. Ditto for the Colt Pocket Nine. The Rohrbaugh R9 is even smaller and lighter.
So why can't somebody make the PPK in a 9mm?
I own a few LDAs ...
... including the P14.45LDA. No problems with breakage (knock wood) but they are a bit picky when it comes to hollowpoints. Seem to like Winchester Supreme.
Thanks for your replies.
Yep.
Guy I know carries in condition 2. Another guy I know said that that is more dangerous than carrying in condition 0. I'm just trying to understand how that could be true.

... Kahr PM9 (my second favorite pocket 9mm), Colt Pocket Nine (my favorite pocket 9mm -- also the heaviest), Kel-Tec PF-9 (the biggest and the litest of the bunch) & Rohrbaugh R9S (the smallest of the bunch).
Stay away from plastic Kahrs in .40 & .45. If you want one in those calibers, get a metal Kahr. There have been no major problems with any of the metal Kahrs nor the plastic Kahrs in 9mm.
