    The SSCY

    Boy this pistol really failed to get any response. Really curious as to why.

    What are you planning on acquiring in the next 12 months?

    Well now that I have started reloading I am seriously thinking about the SIG 238! I have a LC9 which for has been a terrific reliable, accurate pistol. I may just keep it, or even buy a second one.

    The LC9 and your personal reload

    Of course I only carry the best factory ammo for self defense and I'm glad you clarified that for me. I shoot at least once a week, and really cannot imagine shooting Defense factory ammo for range time LOL. I have a good stock pile of Rem UMC which is fine for my SR9c, but Not for my LC9. In...

    Reloading and the very beginner

    I pretty much started real slow and ended up buying equipment as I went. I bought the Hand Press for about $50 and a lee scale for about $25.00 and the die set for about $40.00. Since I just wanted to learn, I just scarfed up 9mm brass at the range. I later got a caliper for about $25.00 and a...

    The LC9 and your personal reload

    So you love the Lc9? It is a terrific gun. Is factory ammo the best for a Lc9? A one size fits all cartridge? I have shot thousands of rounds through this pistol. I've become very accurate. BUT now have started reloading and am totally a very happy camper with a load that is better suited for...

    Best selling line of ammo in the US of A....

    I wonder what next? Halloween is fast approaching. Obvious that there is no problem with the economy as Zombie ammo is selling like hotcakes. Wicked Witch ammo? Frankenstein ammo? How about a silver casing (nickle for werewolfs? I'm not sure, but I kind of think that the folks that buy into that...

    Reloading and the very beginner

    Ok, I wanted to start slow and easy and did purchase a Lee hand press. Any regrets? No, For me this has turned out a great cost effective way to start reloading. Will I get another press? Yes, I will probably get a turret. But I will still keep and use the hand press. The hand press is so simple...

    380 over pressure

    The ammo that I mentioned that I thought may have over pressured my pistol, was weighed at 3.6 gr. Obviously I do not know the type of ammo used by the manufacturer, but from what I have seen, getting up to 3.6 of anything is usually pretty high on the chart. Even though I'm new to reloading...

    That's right you gun snobs....

    Many of you know that I'm all over this forum and other forums with nothing but praise for the Little Phoenix, A very remarkable shooter. Gun test did a comparison of a number of 22.cals and rated the Phoenix a "A PLUS". A very deserved rating. By the way, I like the pistol so much, I bought...

    Tumblers - What is the advantage?

    I cleaned more brass with the Clorox GREEN and it really did a good job. That said, I decided to go ahead and get a tumbler. So I took off 2o miles to Bass Pro shops. I did not see one I wanted but did buy some Lyman solvent to clean brass. I took it home, it was $12.99 for a small bottle. Damn...

    What the heck?

    Thank you skip, I took the load data from Hornady's handbook of reloading which I picked up at the local library. The charge listed was a starting charge. dave

    What the heck?

    Pops, really enjoying the experience so far. I loaded my first batch and went to the range today. The very first shot was a dead bulls eye out of my Ruger SR9C. However, I used a really light charge and boy was the noise and recoil low. And they did not cycle the pistol. Actually that was good...

    What the heck?

    Well, I finally called Berry's since it was obvious they were not going to call me back about the issue of sending me 124 gr bullets when I ordered 115. Not that it was a major problem except that the 124 gr were in a boxes labeled 115 gr. As a newbie in reloading, I thought it was a fairly...

    Jack, thanks for the info. Where do you get your bullets and what kind? Thanks Dave

    380 over pressure

    Quote from Skip on "sticky" "DO NOT over-load ammunition for use in the LCP. Doing so can result in rapid and violent disassembly of the pistol (blown up barrel, slide, and frame). We've seen photos of such "Kaboom" incidents here and the Customer Service folks at Ruger tell me that they have...

    What the heck?

    Thanks for the info. By the way, I also ordered this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120954496803 Scroll to the bottom of page. I figured for $11.00 why not. Especially since it had 9mm and 380 in one.

    What the heck?

    Oh great here we go again.I have been collecting 9mm brass for a while now, but wanted to increase my inventory quick so I ordered some from some place called KBar. Five days later I have heard nothing, no answer no returned email etc. I called them today and some guy answered the phone very...
