    I guess I'm not alone. In my dotage, I've found a wider rear notch and/or narrower front sight is helpful to me. I used to think fiber optic fronts were superfluous. Now I've tried a couple, and...

    Sharps, I think you might just like it. I've had one for a while. The factory Hogue "Tamer" grips, with whatever that blue insert is, really do tame the 3" LCRx recoil with the more energetic loads....

    For any that might be interested, I got around to chronographing the Winchester 127 grain in a Hi Power with ~4.7" barrel. Average velocity was 1320 FPS, actually exceeding any of the 5" barrel...

    dukemason, yes. I'll list some of the averages.

    Springfield, Kimber and Colt 5" semi-autos: 1258 FPS, 1281 FPS, and 1306 FPS.

    Ruger SP101 and LCRx 3" revolvers: 1262 FPS, and 1210 FPS.

    FWIW, I'd used it years ago, but had not seen Winchester 127+P+ available to the public for the last several years. I found an outfit by the name of EagleEyeGuns had it listed it for sale, and...

    I have a little revolver or two chambered in 9mm. Even had an extra S&W 686 cylinder converted to 9mm, so I obviously like 9mm revolvers. But I understand the downsides, i.e., moon clips, recoil,...

    I did the API 250 and 499 classes at Gunsite years ago. IMHO, Robinson's evaluation is correct. They are not precision machined, finely fitted custom guns or anything like that. They are just...

    I'd sure agree the .454 is a significant step up from .44 Magnum. I handled a couple Freedom Arms revolvers quite a few years ago. I decided to order one in .454, with an aux. .45 ACP cylinder. ...

    I have to wonder if these are not TISAS, etc., but are actually those "INGLIS" guns manufactured by that company in India. There were pictures of these at the time. I was not tempted..

    The 3" SP101s with adjustable sights are attractive and practical to me, wish my example had adjustables. I shoot more 9mm than anything else, so 9mm revolvers are bit of a natural for me. I actually...

    FWIW, I've owned examples of both, more than one of the Kimbers. The Kimbers were good, well fitted, reliable and accurate 9mm pistols from Day 1. My SA Loaded Target must have been a late Friday...

    A very practical pistol by a noted gunsmith, and high condition to boot. Deals like that just do not come along in my World.

    As mentioned, could be a lot of things. But just my possible 2¢ worth; I don't have a Masada, but do have a few other 9mm pistols. Assuming your pistol is a 9mm, sometimes the ammo used is loaded...

    Dave, I'm in the same boat. The 9mm version of the 1911 might work for you. For years, I routinely used 16# recoil springs in 5" 9mm 1911s, and 16-18 1/2# in .45s, 38 Supers, etc. But, a couple...

    I don't recall chronographing 9mm Beretta velocities, but like it or not, Beretta barrels may be "slower". I've tested a bunch of factory and handloaded ammo in a variety of other 9mm pistols and...

    I had not seen that armorylife article, but had seen something about Jason Burton doing an SA-35 before. So many seem to think that the SA-35 is Turkish junk compared to the FN/Browning. Wonder...

    I'm another long time N-Frame fan, and have had multiple 27s, 29s, 57s and one 28 over the years. Only managed to hang onto one of them though, a 5" 27-2 I bought new back in the '70s.

    I'm not familiar with the CA-19, but it appears to be a Glock type pistol. FWIW, your barrel appears to be deeply throated, even more so than my stock Glocks. I have used the 9BPLE in Glocks,...

    As long as end shake is tightly controlled, don't think I'd lose any sleep over that .003" B/C gap. I have a Freedom Arms with .454 and .45 ACP cylinders. Both cylinders have a ~.002" B/C gap. In...
