9x21

While I understand this is a 9x19 issue, I also have been shooting 9x21 since 1991. I think Jody is on the money here as far a recoil springs & P9 types. George Huening marketed recoil springs for TZ/P9 type pistols that were very heavy indeed, but they made the pistols work. I'm no engineer, but I do stay at Holiday Inns. In this case, given the facts described, the load/ barrel combination is the likely issue. All those holes combined with the attempt to stay at major, can not be good. While re-springing & assuring the load is correct spec (velocity chrimp, etc) maybe a short term fix, either try a different load or rebarrel. I have loaded thousands of 9x21 long & short (9MM OVAL) heavy bullets, 147 to light bullets 115 to 180PF and have never seen cases look like the ones here. It looks like an accident waiting to happen again! No need to repeat history, the 38 super guys went through "super face" many years ago................. No need to try to make a child safe hand grenade

Lord help me ! Feeling insecure & out of balance, (since I'm too far ahead on bullets, and they ain't good for nothing without primers) I stopped at a little country gun shop. I picked up 7000 primers. 5000 WSP $25 (white box, been there a while, I guess) 2000 CCI small rifle 27.95 (they were mixed in with the large pistol) it was obvious, My buddy Lopez was there first........... not a WSR in sight! I'm such a pig

In a perfect world, we would all have a 1050 with a bullet feeder for every caliber we shoot! For me, It is shooting I enjoy and reloading is just a means to that end. My free time is valuable, so multiple machines make the most sense for me. Many love to reload as much as shoot, and that is great also.

That's exactly why I think the SQDeal is a perfect second or third machine. Nobody hates to reload more than me, so that's why I have so much stuff. The SQDeals are easy to use, auto index (very impotant, if you never loaded on a 550) and produce quality bullets at a decent rate. The only thing I hate more than reloading is getting too far ahead on loaded ammo. Tastes, pistols, and trends change. I have ammo cans full of stuff I got too far ahead on, and don't use anymore. I'll use it up eventually, just pinking. I have found good used SQD's for under $300. ( a new one is 360ish I think) It's a real time saver when I get a whim to shoot something like ICORE or IDPA revo, some times .38 super ESP, etc, etc... Besides, both my 1050's are set up for 9x21, one for major, one for minor. It's just too much work to change the powder measure

Yes, that is a sidewinder. just recently added.... I sure wish we had them back in the day. Those Huening recoil springs were tough to pull back on! I must have been a lot stronger in 1992!

Tha sounds right, I still have a fair amount of WW540 same as HS-6. My favorite too! Also used 4756, filled to the top with a 115......back in the old days of 175PF Now it 125 zero & 540

Glad to hear it is running great! What are using for a load?

or You can do what I did, collect some new or used square deals for those odd ball, misc. calibers...... no fuss, no muss, set & forget it. Let's see, I got one for .45, .40, 38 Super, 9MM, .38spl, and I just set one up for .38 long colt. It is just to hard to switch stuff around.....

Just get another 1050, get it on the payment plan & tell your wife it is 550 after you show her the first billing! Then be sure to hide the rest of the statements when they come in.................

We even kind'of look alike, but...... I wouldn't want to be acused of taking advantage, so I'll just keep what I have.... I promise not to buy anymore until the crisis is over!

I'm old, I won't need that many!

So, as I read & see that no one can get enough components for reloading, I started to wonder? How much is enough and how far ahead do we need to be? I have never thought myself a pig nor hoarder, but after taking inventory today.... It looks like I may be. After a quick inventory and estimate of how many matches I'll likely shoot a year (USPSA, IDPA & ICORE), it would seem that I'm 7 years ahead on heads and 4 1/2 years on primers. Now, before you rush to judgement, much of this stuff has been sitting on the bench for years, but it is time to "use it up". I even counted the lead & old CP bullets! (heck, I still have chrome Winchester primers in white boxes!) So, now I know how much stuff I have, I'll do my part and NOT order anymore for a while................................. unless of course Powder Valley comes back into stock! Just HOW FAR AHEAD ARE YOU?

What goes around comes around.... Here are my antiques! Love that 9x21! ENJOY that pistol!

Thank you NEMO, 9x21

1988 Have not found anything better..........

Most new England matches can be found here: Northeast section: http://www.uspsa-ne.org/matches.asp All Area 7 (Dutchess County is close to CT but is in the Eastern Lakes region) http://www.uspsa7.org/ NJ is in Area 8 http://www.uspsa8.org/

Firearm laws are still liberal in CT. Permit required for carry. No mag issues for now, no problem with obtaining reloading components. While there is no current USPSA club, we're a small state and you can get to a club in MA, RI, NY or NJ (sorry Jim) about in max of two hours or less. You can shoot just about every Sunday April through Nov. There are a few matches inside in the winter. There are plenty of IDPA matches within reach also.

Having shot the Miller (and later S&W) invitationals from 1989 till the end, I can't wait to get back to Fulton & see Rosa again! This club put on the big show in the East back in the day.................usually a few weeks prior to the Nationals. The TGO, Burner, Team S&W all were in attendance. I'm sure that those who were there (& still able), will be back.. I hope the Club house still sells BEER! (AFTER shooting, of course!)

Thanks to Craig Buckland, I just started last year, ICORE & IDPA are most fun so far................ICORE being the better of the two for me. I will likely shoot once on month (round gun) if matches are available ICORE & IDPA I'll shoot my first major with a revo next month (S&W Winter Nationals), then see how it goes.... IDPA, Steel, ICORE seem best suited to me, USPSA not so much. Why do you like to compete in the revolver divisions? It is a lot of fun if, it doesn't turn into a reloading contest, it is a challenge, and mostly to try to beat BUCKLAND of course!

pour them onto the driveway & drop a match............. might make good ice melter! I know you hate to part with it ucheap$kate

Ahhh, 9x21 & the good old days......................... Still works fine for me!

GoldenRod dehumidifiers http://www.goldenroddehumidifiers.com/ I have used them for years...........

I would replace it ASAP, why risk catastrophic failure? Comps are inexpensive, and that looks like a Bedell pistol. I'm sure Dan will help you out.
