YAGT: OMG I love guns

[x-alki]

The round is great for SD, but you will get many different answers due to personal preference.

I recommend to find a solid round, and put a bunch of it through your "nightstand" firearm, and stay with it.

It doesn't matter how much better the latest and greatest JHP is if your gun doesn't feed the 2nd round on the night the glass breaks. Some guns don't like some ammo.

Its perfectly fine to change ammo, but I would only do so when you have the time at the range to make sure your firearm likes the new stuff as much as the old stuff. /soapbox

I have already ran 50 rounds through the PPQ and 50 through the P30L without any problems. I'd say they are good to go.

Or just buy a Glock

Meh.....junk ass pieces of plastic with the wrong grip angle. :whiste:

[rudeguy]

Hickok had some problems with the glock 42 not feeding the second round of some jhp round 😛

Really wish they went straight to 9mm :-\

Hickok is my go to for Glock info. He's a cool guy.

I didn't watch his 42 review because I want one so bad. Maybe I should then?

Like anything you can just go off one or two reviews. Perhaps Hickok (who i love btw) got a bad mag or an early gun with a minor issue. O rperhaps the gun truly just did not like that particular brand of ammo.

Its why anyone worth a damn will tell you if you are going to have a gun that is potentially going to save your life that you need to go shoot it, using the same ammo you plan to use to make sure everything is 100% go to go.

Hell ive even found with my 226 if i grease the rails it doesnt really like my reloaded 115gr ammo all that much (have a stovepipe every 30 rounds or so). But if i oil the rails it works flawlessly. Just an example of how one thing can make something not work quite right.

I realize this. Having an excuse to blast off a couple hundred rounds of ammo is one of my favorite parts of getting a new gun 🙂

Yes, I only since I have turned older now. Prior was my martial arts and knowing how to fight, then OC sprays (Fox 5.3) and finally a knife (whatever was legal at the time and locking / one handed release).

I don't carry my gun nor OC spray daily. I always have my knife and my skillset. I am not going to try to win a fight, I am going to get away from a fight.

I am sure based on what you post you live a sheltered life and most of your experience is simply dry-firing.

Most of you esp carrying at work and at places that forbid weapons are why we have issues with gun ownership.

It's really funny you are going into specialized clothing for this.

Yes, Alk, you have busted me. On the bright side, I'm heavily supporting Kimberly Clark's folded division.

You, sir, are a genius. I'll stop carrying at work and at the post office and the libtards will leave 2nd supporters alone.

Awesome.

He can't even carry!

Well, if you had a little pecker maybe he could.😉

I was mostly tongue in cheek, take with a Grain of salt. I'm sure it will be fine for its intended purpose. Too many variables to know what causes a failure. Could be magazine, errant support thumb slide release, random bad bullet...

I realize this. I'm just trying to find a reason not to like it. Luckily I have an AR on my brain now, so the 42 isn't so pressing.

May i ask which grease? I am using tw25 and haven't been able to get my p226 to hickup even running dirty (150 rounds without cleaning) and limp wristing with my off hand unsupported with junky range reloads.

Lol, I've done that exercise many times before 🙂 once you are interested, you gonna buy it anyways. You randomly walk into a gun shop or show, see a good price, and the gun is impulse purchased ;-)

Believe me...I know the routine. For me its usually something dumb like I find out it fits a holster I already have.

It really is a sickness.

 

[phucheneh]

Even if a gun is sensitive enough that light oil versus a tackier grease causes it to not 'like' a certain kind of ammo...stovepipes are generally an ejector issue, aren't they? Not a result of a miniscule change in the velocity of the slide.

I always forget...it's lighter ammo that makes a handgun cycle faster, right? So in his case, the implication would be that grease is making it cycle even faster, causing the FTE. That doesn't make any sense to me. Methinks he needs a new ejector spring.

I'm no help here. Glocks don't have these problems 😛

I expect not to be called a FUCKING MORON or likewise for my opinions.

I am here to help. Just like I protested using cinder blocks for jack stands.

I get it though. Squeaky wheels get the grease here.

Alky... Not sure why you decided to take the approach you did but I can tell you it earned you some time to think about it... So take care and give it some thought and come back with a different attitude...

Some people just never learn.

My new sights came in. New tools came into work yesterday, so I'll put the sights on Monday. Hopefully I don't mess it up too badly.

I remember when I used to clean my guns after every range trip. I decided to run my M&P 9 one year without cleaning. Probably around 1200 rounds, 10 idpa competitions with a few woods/range trips thrown in. Ran flawlessly before I cleaned it again. I did about half the number of rounds and competitions with my kahr p9 before adding the two to my ccw list.

I have nothing against reloads that are tailored to a gun for soft recoil, more economic use of powder, etc but if I find that 9 times out of 10, problems with finicky guns go away when the reloads do.

 

[rudeguy]

Figure I'll pull the trigger assembly at the same time to check the stamp.

Yeah... I have a Sig 226 from the 1980s that's had probably 20,000 rounds of 9mm fired through it and I've literally never had the gun malfunction. The only problems have been dud rounds and one time a round that didn't have any powder, just a primer, so it lodged the bullet in the barrel.

It was TW25. Mind you i developed my 9mm 115gr load while everything was oiled. It was the lowest charge to have the gun functioning flawlessly. put a couple hundred rounds through it. Then went to the TW25 and noticed with the same ammo it wasnt flawless and was appearing to stovepipe. Im at around 500 rounds now with the hoppes 9 and its still working flawlessly with 115 and 147

I dont know exactly what causes it. Simple matter is no i dont need a new spring. I just use the oil ive used on every other gun (well minus the garand) and i have no issues.

Like i mentioned i dont know the science behind it all. I just know my 226 and this particular load works best with oil and not grease. I could play around and try new extractor but meh why change something that as easy as just using oil instead of TW25.

Looking nice so far! Im going to have to give that Orange scrub stuff a shot for my mosin stocks. Where did ya pick it up if you dont mind me asking?

Lowe's hardware. It was I think $11 for a quart and I probably didn't even use 1/3 of that. I have read though that most Mosins are just finished with shellac which should come off with denatured alcohol.
