    Plunk and rotate question / challenge

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    I used to plunk and spin and I have caught some crimp or bullet oddities with short throated barrels. 

    IMO, 9mm is a bit trickier than 45 and 40 due to taper and some manufacturers using a match chamber with old tooling. 

    I think it is less of an issue now than it used to be.  IE: CZ and SA (XD line) seemed to use minimal leade and freebore.

     

    Now, if it fits in the Hundo I dump it all into the ammo can.  

    Which Glock for CO/LO in 2024?

    My vote would be G34.  The weight difference between Gen4 and Gen5 is reportedly 0.28oz.  

    Maybe some folks are finely tuned machines, but I'm not even going notice the weight difference.

    The difference is the same as one single 124gr bullet. 

     

    Not a loaded round, just a bullet alone.  Not enough to even notice.

    EGW is a solid recommendation.  Hopefully you have found what you needed by now. 

    For future views, Para used an LPA cut adjustable rear.  The older Canadian Limited and Signature P16-40's came with LPA adjustable rear sights.  

    leave on case lube after reloading, or get if off somehow

    I voted leave it on. 

     

    Unless you are spraying that stuff with wild abandon, I can't see a reason to worry about removing it.

    I use carbide dies and always use One Shot spray case lube as it makes everything smoooooth.   

    I'll spray it into an empty two gallon Ziploc freezer bag, then immediately poor the clean brass batch in.

    Shake bag vigorously.  Set open bag down on bench for a few minutes with another shake or two, after a few minutes poor the bag into the feeder hopper.  Shake & bake (load).  

    How Much Finger Pressure on 1911 Thumb Safety??

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted · Edited by Yeti

    First, congrats on the new DS9!  Dry fire and watch what your trigger press is doing or not doing.  

    As someone that prefers thumb on safety technique, I would say it is not for everyone. 

    My strong hand (RH) thumb pressure is firm, but not steering.  Locked in once the safety is pressed as presentation is pushed forward to engage.   

     

    New pistol and you just need to practice and see what works for you.  

    How Often to Clean Out 2011 Mags?

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I find that doublestack mags are less forgiving generally compared to singlestack magazines, generally.

    If needed I'll brush/wipe out the mags if shooting in sand or bays with very fine crushed gravel or good forbid mud.   

    Otherwise, they all get broken down in the late Fall for deep clean and inspection.
