Comped Beretta M9, Walther P99, Jericho 941R
Ladies and Gentleman,
Up for your consideration are four pistols that I'm selling to raise a few funds and to make some space for an up-and-coming move to Nevada.
I live in Northwest Indiana (Schererville), and I'm willing to travel some in order...
I never realized there was such a drastic difference between .45 ACP and the Rowland... probably because the rounds look so similar. I mean I knew it was beefier, but then I looked up the pressures! 40,000 PSI!! Yikes!
I'm guilty of doing this myself with my Walther P99. Using gold dots, I can't actually 'see' any difference between bullet length, but then again I don't re-chamber them on a particularly regular basis, and the differences are sure to be difficult to see. I should bust out the calipers, but...
My '72 German made PP in .32 is smooth as a baby's butt. My old man's S&W PPK in .380 is perfectly functional and looks nice, but it's gritty as all hell. Also, the beavertail has some sharp edges and actually took the skin off of the web of my hand after shooting half a box of .380's...
Are these the rounds that turn to "dust" when they hit? I saw a youtube vid of them disintegrating inside of some ballistic gel and creating massive would cavities.
Actually, here's a youtube video of it. This isn't the one I originally saw, which I think was just an ad for the rounds...
On a related note, I've never even seen non-steel cased 7.62x39. Granted, I've only ever shot wolf, tiger, etc... but still. Is (or rather, was) brass cased ammo ever widely available?
The people who own Bersa thunders seem to swear by them. I've never handled one, so maybe I shouldn't be chiming in, but again, they're cool little PPK clones.
Also, after handling my Dad's S&W made PPK in .380, I can't say the extra money spent on the current Walther license production is...
My buddy's fiancée has one of these. It's so concealable it's insane, and the integral laser is a nice touch.
It's pretty stiff to shoot, I thought, firing defensive grade .380's out of a gun so light, but if you're looking for true pocket carry, one of these is definitely a contender. :)
