    I wrote a long ass post about this somewhere. What I figured out was that 43's are very sensitive to mag spring tension, if you use any +1 baseplate you need to use extra power springs (I think I...

    Other options maybe worth considering.

    The Buffalo Bore 158 loads use pretty much the softest bullets you can get. I have tested them through 4 layer denim and 3" guns and about 75% of the time...

    I say own what you want. You can always buy them again. But especially for the 3", you might pay more later.

    But for the love of pete, what are these links for $311 642s and $659 M&P 340's?

    I've owned several, still own an OBR (heavy), owned a SCAR Heavy, several other battle rifles from FAL's to HK 91's to a bunch of M14s in every barrel length.

    Definitely agree. 158 hardcast or LHP at 1250fps should do most of what you need, with about half the muzzle blast and recoil of a 357.

    Nice trade in Model 10-5

    These aren't getting very much love, so I bought two of them. The $299 "good" condition ones.

    Great heads up. 22 cents per round for 38? I'll take it!

    Softest shooting ammo I have found for relatively cheap is the Georgia Arms 125gr cowboy load, but it's 32-33 cents per round.

    Yeah to me the 48 shoots like a full sized gun (almost) and carries like a compact.

    That's great. Love it when that happens straight from the factory. Usually I have to have a barrel set back to get them that tight.

    Especially on the G43, running the factory baseplates (i.e. as a 6+1 gun only) is definitely a great way to prevent these issues. The ZEV extra power springs (and various extended baseplates) seem...

    It's real purty! But square butts are way harder to conceal than round butts. For me anyway that little bit of curve makes the diff between printing and not printing.
