So, Tam, just trying to be helpful here: that boxy thing on the right-hand side of that pic is called the magazine (or what the Brits call a "spanner"). It goes in the big hole in the bottom of the handgrip thingy. Be sure to insert it with the coppery ends pointing forward.
I vote for Weer'd to win the innernets for today! That way he can pay for a new keyboard for me. It is now full of my morning beverage due to his comment.
FWIW, as a side effect of doing some T&E on a part, that is now 750 rounds without cleaning or lubing and no failures to complete the cycle of operation. Going to try to hold off on a bath until 2k.
Those are Lee 358-158-RF stuffed in 9mm over 3.8gr No. 5.
My latest attempt at a cast boolit 9mm that doesn't tumble.
Thought I'd found the trick a few months back. Tried some moly coated 125gr round nose plinkers from Speer. Loaded up 50 and tested them and all seemed well. Then cranked out 950 on the Dillon.
Those sat in an ammo can in my stash while I shot 1911 all Summer.
A couple weeks ago it's time to break out the XD for flashlight matches again. I go to practice and get tumblers right away.
Too much of a PITA to pull them all down so I guess I have a big pile of blasting ammo. Maybe they'll do better in one of my other 9s. The SW9VE has a tighter barrel but a crap trigger.
pew! pew! pew! pew! pew! pew!
ReplyDelete19 or 26? I can't tell for sure.
ReplyDelete19 with CTC Lightguard.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, that doesn't look like a cat. So I guess you are over the earlier dramas then?
ReplyDeleteIt's pronounced "hy-PER-bow-lee".
ReplyDeletehy-PER-bow-lee...Oh I get it...hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI did like the cat. Ours used to do stuff like that but she is pretty old now. Getting up takes most of the day.
Your Barrel is bent!

ReplyDeletethis is 2013. please take a bath...
ReplyDelete;)
Black with a detachable magazine? It holds more than 3 rds?
ReplyDeleteASSAULT PISTOL!
Most I ever went was around 700 with both the XD-9 and SW9VE.
ReplyDeleteI cleaned when I got tired of handling the gun making my hands dirty.
Although I am a Glock-a-phobe. I do like this pic. You should get some kind of award for being the first person ever to make a Glock look like art.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of moar 9mm. I was just downstairs playing mad scientist.

Wonder if they'd work in my 6" DWM Luger?

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering about barrel length myself. I never tried them in the 75B. Its barrel is slightly longer.
