3.2 grains of W231 driving a 158 grain DEWC is a favorite 38 load for target for me. Do any of you have a "pet" load?

46.5 gr varget in a winchester case and a 155 gr sierra/berger/hornady for .308

yields about ~2900fps out of a 24" barrel

Dawww, I leave a few months and my old Gun Thread is first.

This warms the cockles of my doctrine of the lower magistrate, 2A, NRA member, heart.

BTW I'm in the market for a new IWB holster for my G19. Any recommendations?

I don't, with the exception of knowing I really like my kydex in the pocket holster.
How do you want to wear it? CC? at the range?

CC. Deep-ish concealment for the summer. Throw it under a polo or t-shirt.

I often fall back to the Walther PPS for when I have to go really light, but I suspect I can rock a 19 well enough between 1 and 3 o'clock.

deep to me would be a pants pocket, the kydex I have has a long "ear" on the front to keep
it in a pocket, works great, releases nice.

Urban Carry looks like it would work for you. I have been looking at those too. Haven't used them yet, but they look good.

just created a batch with 3.2gr. of W231, 158 gr. DEWC, will test drive tomorrow.

Those are really slick shooters. Recoil is minimal, power is more than adequate, and accuracy is anywhere from "really good" to "holy $&%@#" Not that I would ever say that...:rolleyes:

Mine is the same gun, but in "rostfrei"..... Model 64
Mod 64.jpg

If you ever want to gain proficiency in double action shooting, this is the gun with which to do it. They are "silly grin" smooth....

I've started loading a 140gr coated bullet that is a truncated cone shape... I use 231, just don't remember offhand the exact charge.. I can look it up when I get home.

It may be worth a try. I have trouble understanding how it saves space.

I think there is more give in my waist than on my thigh. At least as far as fabric is concerned.

Interesting update regarding the gun laws in california. The NRA and other groups have just filed a lawsuit to have the newest "assault weapon" law overturned and the supreme court is deciding right now whether they will hear the case or not...

From the NRA's youtube channel:

But gains custody of El Gato
Walks out of court saying "Bye, Toe."(that's his romantic nickname for her, seeing he's Romeo and stuff)

Tries to steal El Gato
By trying to reconcile with Desdichado

A nice look into the NRA Firearms Museum in Virgina. More eye candy than you can shake a stick at!! (talking about the guns of course)

(Note - The young lady in the video is a new shooter so she doesn't know that much about guns yet)

*Bang* (in keeping with the thread's theme)

So starts the race
I step in and he gives chase
A sadist's smile paints his face
That SovereignGrace

I tried to vanish without a trace
Packed a can of mace
But none escapes him on the case
That SovereignGrace

I wandered to the land of Dace
Circled back to wondrous Thrace
To find my lady in silk and lace
Only to turn and find
That SovereignGrace

I could run at any pace
The oldest, ancient paths trace
But he will drag me to his base
That SovereignGrace
