Originally I had a Glock 43 w 7 round mags. Going to use that for deep concealment and when I go jogging.
I learned that SIG P320 10 round mags can be easily converted by simply grinding down a nub inside. That tip will save me a couple hundred dollars in the future.
yups. I've learned a lot since first carrying a taser so same applies to handgun.
John Correia from ASP did research in capacity and reloads in civilian (non LE) encounters. Reloads are extremely rarely needed, less than 0.1% so greater mag capacity is more important.
I carry the VP9 in Vegas and since it's only a week, it's fine. But for an EDC, I would want something smaller.
Looking at a G43X or Shield Plus due to the size and being able to carry 10rds.
I have a Smith and Wesson M&P9C that I would carry until I get to know what I want. I want to buy once cry once. The reason why I'm not a fan of the 9C is because without the extended mag, the pinky hangs off. Not too much of an issue, but reloading takes a bigger break in the grip. So when you eject the mag, now the pinky hanging is noticable. Plus with the mag blocked, it cannot hold 10rds, but only 9 because the 10th round doesn't allow the mag to fit into a closed slide. This is the case for all 5 factory 10rd mags that I got from S&W.
Not a fan of the SIG 365 as the angle I don't like and the mush trigger.
Cool. I'm down. I'll let you know.
I would like to get my CZ dialed in a little better and get chrono data, so my feelings aren't hurt as much.
3500 fps in .223 Rem? Gas gun? That's humming. . .
Yah it's a little warm...
1/8"? Dayum. I think the last time I shot a KYL target, smallest was 1/4". Maybe slightly larger. I'm always down to try and "let the target tell me". But yeah, and non-std distances, one better know alot about their setup. I'll have to chrono my 22lr ammo.
LMK I'll bring them out. I'm usually in #19 never shoot off a bench.
I've shot other folks' KYL targets. I haven't shot Bushido's one though, but I'm down. Bring your RPR
The colored water jugs is always interesting. Esp if you shoot them with say HP or SP, vice FMJ. Next time I see you, I can show you some testing we had done in the past with those with 5.56/.223.
Wind judgement, calls, etc is certainly not my strong suit. Where I shoot long(er) ranges, the winds are often "switchy" and usually quite different at shooter and target (and in between) due to terrain.
I got there a little before noon and shot until around 2. I also tried to wait until between the periods when the wind was kicking up for when I was shooting 3 shot groups for the tuner testing. Or at least similar winds for that group. Can’t say how much was the wind and how much was me, but I was happy that the new setup showed a lot of potential.
Once I get the tuner settled for this batch of ammo, I want to try shooting 1 shot drills on smaller targets during and day where winds are like today. Practice reading the winds.
Shot the long awaited unicorn. About 320rds in 1 1/4 hours. She chewed everything, zero jams.
230gr for all, Federal, Fiocchi, Blazer, PMC Bronze and 20rds Federal HST. From wilson 10rders. Also ran a few 7rd Colt mags and no issues.
I did notice more carbon than the vp9 (9mm). Idk if cause its a tan gun or thats how 45acp is. Had carbon soot on my fingers also. Never had that with the vp9. The most i shot 9mm in 1 sitting was about 250ish. See below pics.
Also POA/POI seemed low, compared to the vp9 that ive only been shooting for 6 years now. At 15 yards, was like 5 inches low. Its prob the indian cause on a few that i 4got to take the safety off, the flinch was huge. Aiming with the front post higher (see pic below and far right example) seemed to help. I need to figure this out, mental block problem. For a 10r mag, like 3 were dead center and almost same hole and the other 7 were 5 inches low. Which leads me to believe its the indian.
The biggest getting used to is the safety. No problems engaging it when not shooting, its the forgetting to take it off when ready to shoot or taking it off when cocked and locked with no mag inserted. So i damn near bust my wrist trying to rack the slide after inserting a mag (u must disengage safety to rack).
Finger placement on the trigger seems more forgiving. With the vp9, too much finger and i yank the shot noticably.
Overall a fun gun that i will be shooting much more. Got choke ammo still. Next handgun skill builder, i will be using her instead of the vp9.
Thanks to all who followed this and helped along the way.
Mrs.cmo tried it and wasnt a fan. She does like our friends shadow 2 she shot today.

if you have to leave earlier, we ask that you let the staff know in the beginning, so they can plan for the end of the day challenge...
