On a cold day my range was from 690 to 713so I end up going to 3.4 so I would stay above 125 even if it was colder. It was mid 30s. Either my previous range trips was dead of summer or some other reason my average was 750 then and 707 now.

I doulas have sworn when I first heard about this it was going to have a shift to the RDO mounting location and keep the rear sight on.

P.s.- I forgot to add, when I tried 40 minor in production, say a decade ago, I just didn’t not/feel any less perceive recoil with the real light stuff vs 147grain 9mm. at 165 and 180s- even if the power factor was exactly the same, it “felt” or “acted” like less recoil to my hand and eyes than 124 or 147 grain 9s.

Yeah, I admit I am pretty out of date on Powders. ‘I played with WAP and some others in the 90s- but bullseye was my first and so damn simple. 158 grain .357- 5 of bullseye 125 grain .38 special- 5 of bullseye 180 grain .40, 5 of bullseye 300 grain 44 mag- 5 of bullseye 230 grain 45ACP- 5 of bullseye 115 grain 9mm- 5 of bullseye 230 grain 45 colt for SAAs- 5 of bullseye no, don’t go making these loads, they might not even be in load books anymore, but off the top of my head those are all combos I read and used. It’s not the most odorless, smoke free powder. there a risk of so little powder in big cases I guess of doubling. it’s too fast for pushing max velocity in anything. like, you could probably buy underwood or buffalo bore super 40s in 200grain as fast as my 10s, but they work good. but it was very versatile and made great mouse fart/target loads and reliably accurate midrange loads. I probably still have five or six pounds on hand.

Thank you

load for .40 minor ages ago, using bullseye, but it was for 165 grain bullets. all I have is ton of 180s plated right now. I have a sticky note in my .40S&W reload journal "Beretta 96G Elite and Elite II, full function both 3.2grains bullseye /WSPM primers (tighter sd than WSP) 1.125 ave 750fps" that I never seem to have transferred into my book, or the data from the WSP- looks like the sticky on that fell out, must have forgot book to the range that day. How close does this sound to any bullseye powered 40 minor you guys have cooked up. and is that a good load length for a 1911 based ?

Thanks. I definitely do not want a longer/extended slide release. My hand size on a double stack is right at that point where the stock length slide stop, if it was just 1-2mm wider, is much faster for me to use.

p.s.- I have also forgotten if the Para took a regular width hammer pin, or a slightly wider one like STI.

They both are ambi safeties. I was only showing one side though. We called , colloquially I guess, the wide safeties “thumbrest” safeties, and the regular width but longer safeties extended safeties. EGW does look close. Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Essential, I want to put the same model of safety on the blue gun that I have on the SS one. And also plan on wider, but not extended in length slide releases.

Dusting off some limited guns from the 1990s. I want to get one of these- <iframe width="1920" height="1080" src="https://photobucket.com/u/ramairfour/p/371e42ad-510c-4c30-b3cf-7490eb42a157"></iframe> <iframe width="1920" height="1080" src="https://photobucket.com/u/ramairfour/p/03d5fc48-91aa-43bc-a7a0-02659230b52e"></iframe>

I was fine with the stock spring set up- but to be honest I was shooting production with 40 minor. I believe I had settled in on 165 grains at 800 fps. it had less, well, perceived recoil - than 147s 9mm at 900fps or 124 gr 9mm at 1050 fps. ( I had just spent about a year and a half of splints, cast, surgery, pins, etc.) i don’t have a bunch of time shooting major PF ammo with the 96s
