    Disappointing SP101 9mm

    Mine (also post-2017 production) went on a walk in the foothills today - it's a great gun that shoots really well for me. I appear to have had better luck than my friend arfmel. :(

    Bearcat-.22 Long Rifle to .22 Magnum?

    Just another photo - my New Model Bearcat converted to .22 Magnum by Hamilton Bowen some years back (Sack Peterson elk stocks). Fun walking around gun. I wore it to a wedding in Lincoln County a few years back . . .

    Some SP-101 9x19 chrono data

    My bad: all the post-2017 SP-101 9mms are 2.25" guns.

    Some SP-101 9x19 chrono data

    In case anyone's interested . . . . Just got a good deal on one of the new release SP-101s in 9x19. It shot well: small groups exactly at POA with any lighter ammo; larger groups above POA with 147-grainers. The following chrono data is from my range visit at the Albuquerque City Range...

    GP-100 vs SP-101 for hiking

    My SP did a fine job on a vigorous hike up the wall of Bear Canyon and over the ridge into Embudito Canyon just now - yep, the GP is a great gun but I'm not missing that extra round (or the extra heft) of the GP on these walks. And that Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake is a great way to carry it.

    GP-100 vs SP-101 for hiking

    I own both (a 4" GP on which I've installed the short Lett stocks and a 3" SP with the factory stocks) and have carried them both on my frequent hikes up Bear Canyon behind the house. (Please note that I owned a short SP in .357 and traded it off, finding its short tube not suitable for...

    SR22 fixed fast

    Nice to hear! The SR22s are fantastic little guns for the money. Truly improved over the original Walther model.

    Traded into a blued Speed Six snub 2 wks ago

    I had the gun out at the range yesterday just as a "fun" gun, to spell me on some ammo testing I was doing on three other guns. It was a treat to shoot the Speed Six with .38 +Ps. :)

    What Do You All Think About the SR9c ????

    I have and frequently carry a SR9c. I also frequently carry a Kahr CM9. In the past, I've carried (in the pretty small 9mm category) Glock 26s, a Kahr PM9 Covert (that's the short PM frame with the mid-sized P9 slide assembly), a Rohrbaugh R9s, a CZ RAMI and a Walther PPS (to name the ones that...

    Most recent guy killed by APD was using a Vaquero .45 Colt

    Sheriff's Model? The lapel cam video is up - officer's emotional exclamations afterward are revealing about how awful these things are: http://www.abqjournal.com/527573/news/officer-in-video-he-expletive-shot-at-us.html

    Flatbush, that's right. And mine was a drop-in replacement with a perfect fit.

    Mine gets both. What I carry in it depends on where I'm carrying it. :)

    Sorry, amigo - no extra T-grip here. The one you want to find is the # 8.
