  1. I have 9 G17 mags ($80 for a 3-pack) and 3 more G22 mags ($85 for a 3-pack) from Brownells on backorder. I do not have even have a G17, but I had planned on getting a 40-9 LWD conversion barrel in the future. My G22 will be 22LR, 9mm and 40 S&W caliber. Why not? AA kit was cheaper than a Buckmark. I do appreciate that Brownells seem not to jack up their prices. They also have more bullets for reloading in stock than Midway.
  2. Too thick. I am still adjusting to GA weather, after moving down from AK. I wear shorts April thru November, so I need something lighter and flatter. PT111 has sold, I missed the Taurus 709 as well, so I am waiting for either another 709 to come up for sale or Ruger LC9.
  3. Wood stock? If it is, it is a part of your issue. If humidity changed after you shot the rifle first time, stock might have swelled/shrunk, and changed your POI.
  4. Pablo, it can be done, I've seen it done. Extractor will hold cartridge in place. Do I recommend it? No. As far as cartridge splitting if unsupported, remember smiley faces at 6 o'clock in factory 40 S&W Glock barrels? I load at 90% percent of handbook (nosler and speer) and never had smileyes. I suspect a mild factory load (non-Corbon) with a lighter bullet (135 gr to 155gr) will, at most, cause a slight bulge all the way around, but won't split the case. Hot 180 gr factory load, or a handload with 200gr is another matter. Mr. G. will become a hand grenade.
  5. Thinking about picking up one for CCW. Sold my 454 Casull Raging Bull (Alaskan CCW :-)), so I need something suitable for the Lower 48. I love Taurus revolvers, had/shot 454 Raging bull (handloaded 454 Casull and hot-roded 45 Colt), 375/38, 22 LR, but no experience with semi-auto. Reviews all seem to be good. I hope its DA/SA trigger is better than Kel-Tec P11/FP9's trigger. Trying to buy used under $300 to save some money. Ruger LC9 is another option, but since it is Kel-Tec's knock-off, I am not sure about the trigger. Anything else I am overlooking in my price range?
  6. Same handle as it was on BITOG. I've done rifle, pistol shooting and reload for pistol (straight wall cartridges).
