Throwback Thursday 1/14/16 - Ever us a stripper clip to reload your BUG?

Yes for a while I did use a stripper clip to reload my BUG, a Grendel P-10. The P-10 was a small pocket gun made in .380 and utilized an internal 10 round magazine. Not a bad gun over all but I decided it was just a touch unwieldy for the reload.

Looks like a major PITA.

I have one that I purchased at a gunshop on the south side of Indy on Meridian street between Indy and Greenwood in 1988. I used to shoot it a lot, but I did not use the stripper clips. The trigger sucks and but it was reliable and cheap.

Broomhandles load from a stripper, a real advance in handgun tech for it's day.

The Grendel worked fine, was light and if you need more than 10 rounds out of a BUG then you have seriously screwed up and gone somewhere you shouldn't have. But I do carry at least 2 reloads for my BUG giving me 15-21 rounds depending on the BUG. The Grendel went away. Today the BUG is normally my 640 or the KelTec PF9.
