Maybe a round or two through a friends commiegun at one time or another.<br /><br />I only ever shoot my reloads so I never had a need.

Jim Clark Jr. once told me that about a third of Clark Custom Guns' business (in the early 2000's) was coming directly from the use of steel-case ammunition in high-end 1911's and AR-15's. He was all in favor of it, for obvious reasons!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53942295928892708642015-10-01T09:03:10.393-05:002015-10-01T09:03:10.393-05:00" I don't recommend using steel-case ammo..."

AFAIK the SR40 (full-size) takes a 15-round magazine; it can also be used in the SR40c with a sleeve adapter, just like the full-size SR9 magazine illustrated in the SR9c above. The SR9c takes a ten-round magazine as standard, IIRC.<br /><br />2. I don't recommend using steel-case ammo in any quality firearm. Period. In Russian or Eastern Bloc firearms, that were designed for it from the beginning, it's a different matter, of course.<br /><br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-21785932191713560942015-03-23T17:24:56.005-05:002015-03-23T17:24:56.005-05:00A related question is - Have you ever tried shooti...A related question is - Have you ever tried shooting Tula steel-cased amo trough the SR40? I've still got a bit of that stuff lying around and I've got to get out to the range and shoot it up. <br /><br />It tends to gum up the Glock and the powder formula is a bit on the dirty side so I have to clean my Glock more often. I would imagine the SR40 would have a similar reaction.cpwilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964605599297511796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-44268473164931753852015-03-23T17:22:21.284-05:002015-03-23T17:22:21.284-05:00OOps - I should have said "22 round magazine&...OOps - I should have said "22 round magazine" for my trusty old Glock.

The problem is I now have neuropathy in my finger tips from using crutches for most of my adult life. The neuropathy makes it impossible for me to work the barrel release slide for cleaning the gun. <br /><br />Can someone recommend something in the 40S&W caliber?

In 9mm flavor I had a pair of Kahr PM9's and now I have a SIG 290 filling the role of pocket artillery. The rumored new Glock is supposed to be in that minicompact/pocket sized arena and definately something to look at now instead of later if you want a pocket 9mm to supplement your Glock 26. I will definatly get one if it competes well with the size of the PM9 and SIG 290. I would prefer to have a Glock in my pocket.<br /><br />FotoTomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-53009842880171597282015-03-18T14:14:45.416-05:002015-03-18T14:14:45.416-05:00The biggest advantage Glock has over any other man...The biggest advantage Glock has over any other manufacturer is market penetration, and by extension availability of accessories. Decent, QUALITY, holsters are (and for the g43 will likely) be available quicker for the Glock pistols, and will fit more laser/light/sight options than any other manufacturer.<br /><br />I love variety, and I'm a cheap bastard, but I made that mistake with my first pistol (Taurus PT840, great pistol, no issues), i couldn't find accessories to fit except for generic rail mounts. Did finally find a FANTASTIC holster from Alien Gear, and promptly bought another when I got mo Glock.dorfer21https://www.blogger.com/profile/13948370349778926331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-3573628688738024282015-03-18T13:59:17.154-05:002015-03-18T13:59:17.154-05:00In 9mm, I'll just stick with my tried-and-true...In 9mm, I'll just stick with my tried-and-true Browning Hi-Power.
