Thanks for that. I've used 32 Long for practice in my 11 oz J-frame...this is, in part, because it is so pleasant to shoot. And, in part, because 32 Mag has become very rare and pricey. I've stockpiled a bit of good SD ammo, but really can't practice with it for fear of being unable to...

Good point. And I, too, wonder if it is possible...the barrel is covered in polymer, no? Not too worried about the loss of ballistics..327 is pretty hot and capable, and I'm sure it would remain so if marginally affected by porting.

I've been thinking about getting an LCR in 327 magnum for a while, and the itch is getting pretty strong again. Seems to be a great combination for EDC in terms of size/weight/capacity/ballistics. But my one nagging doubt is recoil management. I have a SW 431 PD that I bought because I'd...

Thanks. I truly appreciate you trying to assist. Be well.....

This strikes me as a false dichotomy. Because there are plenty of lightweight, cheap, polymer pistols that remain trouble-free for thousands of rounds. My Glock 42 easily has 1K rounds through it without a hiccup, as a quick example. Same with my KelTec P32 and my Beretta Pico. And head over...

I went over some of the contemporaneous posts I made elsewhere after I had bought the pistol and when I was first getting it out to the range, and the Max was NEVER stock when I shot it. I put in the beefier takedown pin, SS guide rod, and heavier recoil spring before I ever shot it. And I had...

So, ironically, I seem to have answered my own question...or, at least, my Max did. :cry: Took it to the range to put a few rounds through it, and ended up with frequent FTF failures. Also, for no apparent reason, it is now dropping mags while shooting with some frequency. This...

Thanks much! I did check that search function, but couldn't find anything addressing my specific question.

So, I picked up my LCP Max many months ago, and it has proven to be absolutely flawless over several range visits. I'm also quite shocked at what a good shooter this micro is compared to competitors' models. I have upgraded it with a stiffer recoil spring, a SS recoil spring guide, locking...
