Long ago I standardized and stocked up on Federal 147 grain Hi-Shok 9MS for my S&W 940 and Beretta 92. Velocity is 900 fps in the 1-7/8" snub and 1030 in the 4.9" Beretta. This contract load has...

With today's replacement costs for primers, powder and bullets I don't find it cost-effective to load 9mm.
I do save the my fired brass, sort by headstamp and sell!

VERY interesting. Firing .455 ammo in the rechambered .45 Colt cylinder point of impact was correct to the fixed sights and grouping normal. There seems to be no issues firing .455 in the longer...

I have a reasonable amount of experience with 9mm revolvers. Since about 2010 there have been great improvements in 9mm ammo and even in the short barrel revolvers 147-grain loads such as the...
A gold star to stick on your fore head!
A detail strip, careful cleaning and inspection to remove any grit or debris. Careful deburring and reassembly. Only a light application of dry lube as oil attracts dirt.
The name means nothing to me. Ask them if they have coppers and gage holders and what the duty indent spec is for .357 vs. .38 Special. If not, how do they measure and what is their work-around?
...
I would not unless they are equipped to measure copper indent to FLETC standard and guarantee 0.011" minimum on a .357
The two Ranger bands give useful additional bulk and cushioning to take the "sting" out of it without defeating concealability.
My 1985 Ruger Speed Six DAO (armorer's school.gun) reliably sets off Remington. 5-1/2 and Federal 200 small pistol magnum and Remington 6-1/2 and CCI500 small rifle. Copper indent is 0.012"
