Re: I got a birthday present last week
Very nice... I'm thinking that 9mm has very minimal recoil?
What kind of loads did you run through her, Bruce? Crpdeth

Quote:
Bear Creek 135 grn lead RN bullets. $58./1000 W231 powder 3.4, 3.7, 3.9 grains Unique Powder 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 grains I shot some lesser loads I made & some Unique 3.9's. The max Unique load is 4.1 grn. The recoil is not bad. I was surprised by the muzzle rise w/ the 3.9 load, tho. But very comfortable to shoot. The gun ran better on the hotter loads. When it gets broken in, I think a medium load w/ a lesser recoil spring will be real fun to shoot fast. I'm going to try a trigger job ( now a 6.5 lb) & put an ambidexterous safety on it. I found this gun on *********. $830. Paid some CA sales tax & transfer/DROS fees. Had to buy some magazines for it. ( stinkin' California 10 round limit ) Para Factory only for 9mm. 4 mags @ $49. It was listed as used, but the gun is darn pristine. Only found a few marks on the bottom of the mainspring housing. My FFL was impressed. I'm very pleased with it, I love those Para wide frame grips!

Re: I got a birthday present last week
So how long did you wander around the house with it? Did you play with it while watching TV? I'll bet you did. I do.
