In the past I've gotten just as wrapped up in terminal ballistic minutiae as anyone, but in this thread you have some good examples of how far out of touch the gun nerd community is with the...
Never said that V-Crown was my first or even second, third choice. I've got plenty of 147 HST from years ago, so I'm good for now.
I was merely responding to the broad assertion that "V-Crown JHP...
Based on BrassFetcher's testing, the 115gr V-Crown shows quite acceptable results (with the exception of a few auto glass shots that didn't meet penetration minimums) when fired from a full-sized gun.
What do you make of the argument that it's useful to have an intermediate force option on you when you're also carrying a gun? This is one of the arguments that swayed me to almost always having a...
Were these MOS guns or milled?
From a previous thread in the ammo section -
147 HST was known to have good performance from short barrels at least a few years ago. However, Chuck Haggard made a curious statement in a...
No worries. I was mainly just concerned that you might end up ruining a cake recipe if your kitchen scale was telling you that 500g of flour was actually 370grams :p
17 ounces loaded? No way that's correct. Everywhere I look, I see ~18 ounces unloaded for a 365, and 11 rounds of 9mm is going to add another ~5 ounces.
I jumped on the LCR .22 bandwagon and bought a used one off Gunbroker. Not sure what I'm ultimate going to use it for, but if nothing else, this gun plus Claude Werner's online snubby course seemed...
Ammo question that's relevant to the 9mm pocket pistol discussion in this thread - a couple of us in the ammo subforum noticed that in a recent P&S podcast you said that you've never seen 147gr HST...
I think Phlster might be coming out with some kind of wedge/foam pad product soon, so could be worth the wait to see what they've come up with since they often have a unique take.
Check eBay. Not cheap, but if it's something you have to have, there are some available on there.
This is why I was so taken aback. I recall DocGKR specifically saying it would meet standards in both duty-sized and compact/sub-compacts. I also remember "ShootingTheBull410" on Youtube showing...
Slight hijack related to another recent P&S episode ("Optimal is not Universal") - In that episode, Chuck Haggard said something that really took me aback, which was that he'd never seen 147 HST...

Video released from incident earlier this year. St George UT police pursued a fleeing...
Glad to hear there are some Mecgar mags now available. The US made mags that came with my XL would turn a paper towel rust brown every time I wiped them down, and that was even when they were coated...
Yep. If that were fixed, I would be willing to strongly consider a pair of 365XLs as my "one gun" solution to satisfy my handgun needs.
I'm still surprised that someone hasn't come out with a slightly larger/differently shaped safety lever. Guess the MS models aren't huge sellers.
I've owned both, but sold the 365XL pretty quickly in favor of the 43x. I'm still not 100% settled on that choice, less because of any real shortcomings with the 43x and more because the 365 threads...
The Enigma Express version that comes already assembled with their holster was designed to be the "easy mode" answer to this question. The standard Enigma will give you more adjustability (mainly by...
How much heavier/worse is the trigger on the .22 LCR vs the .327?
Can we get more info about that IIIA plate you used for testing? I'm a little flummoxed that a .30 caliber projectile at 1900+ fps wouldn't penetrate, but then again these standalone plates might be...
Sweet! No reason to wait on the LTT version for the slimline guns, right?
I had big plans for a heavy profile 11.5 Colt barrel, but when the prices got stupid, I sold and used the money toward an 11.5 URG-I clone upper built by John Thomas with an 11.5 DD barrel, though I...
How perishable would you consider J-frame skills vs. those needed for the G43? You said you bought the G43 to replace a J-frame, so that seems like a fairer comparison than your G19 performance....
