I seem to be slightly more accurate targeting shooting with 124 grain rounds than with 115 grain rounds.

Good to know, I believe the slightly extra power makes the machine work better and hold better perhaps.

Those are very consistent.
I've seen those in the civi white boxes go 5 into 1" approx 25yds with a SIG, single action only, on a very good day from the bench rest. Most opened up a great deal bigger due to user error, but the ammo was excellent.

Illinois State Supreme Court Declares 'Assault Weapons' Ban Constitutional | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

Americans have been buying guns at a record pace for four straight years.

This is partially because of rising crime, but also because people are concerned about Democrats and gun control.

Americans are right about the Democrats. No matter how bad things get in the country, due mostly to their policies, they just won’t stop trying to enforce more control on law abiding people.

Look at what just happened in Illinois.

Over here in Norway they raided a gun dealer over some paperwork not done properly. They had been giving him several warnings, but he wasn’t able to fix everything before the ultimate deadline.

The local police department seized all his guns and stored them in a nearby military base. It was truckloads of guns.

Couple of weeks later the district court reversed the the entire decision and the trucks had to return the guns back to the gun dealer. He was out of business for all of these weeks. I believe there’s still a lawsuit against the police department pending over this matter.

Maybe, but over here the government never mentions guns at all. Some local inexperienced ADA’s sometimes goes off the handle, but the courts regularly shoot them down (no pun intended) lol.

Pfft... 9 mm? Really bro?
If you want some stopping power... 9 mm ain't it? :ROFL:
Love ya' just the same.
9 mm will do the job in most cases. You have to make up your mind whether you wanna pack lightly or drag a cannon with you.😁

The way dan shoots, he always hits the 10 ring.
There has been a TV generation American bent for more power when the first police revolvers were 32sw, 38 sw, ( slow enough you can see it travel, fast enough you can't get out of the way) there is too much emphasis on "more power!" when we need to 1st hone skills.

I agree that any hole in an opponent is a good hole... but seriously, the science is just not there in regard to "stopping power". Please agree with me on this.

A 9 is all about the "spray and pray" philosophy... and it does work.

I prefer a one and done kinda' thinking.

Give me a revolver, and straight shooting... and some weight.

Absolutely! My dad was (is occasionally though he is retired) a law enforcement officer, and he would agree with that sentiment. He has also taught me that pistols are prone to being jammed and that a revolver is what you can always trust.

Most of the young ones like the "combat tupperware" striker fired 9mm, i like the revolver as I reload some really nice light target loads.
