My neighborhood sucks for Pac-manning.

I traded into a 9mm Sig P229. Its my first personally owned 9mm ever. I picked it up because the trade was swung in my favor value wise significantly and because science. "They" routinely say one of the advantages of the 9mm is faster followup shots. I want to see exactly what the difference is between the exact same gun in .40, .357, and 9mm. I honestly don't know how long I'll hold on to the 9mm before I sell or trade it, but if I keep trading up I'll keep going with it.

7 yards, slow fire, 2 magazines of 5 each. First shot double action, four shots single action, repeat. I had a few fliers, but all in all good groups. The squares are 1x1". Working the steels from the holster doing 3 shots on a torso at 5y. P220 averages for 3 shots 1.03s 1.28s 1.52s P245 averages: 1.15s 1.44s 1.70s P229 averages: 0.97S 1.22s 1.43s I used a more competition oriented holster for the P245 and the P229 which likely gave me about a slight edge with them. The front of the holster is lower so the gun clears faster and it sticks out from the body a little bit more so its easier to grasp, so the P220 was handicapped a bit.

I now own 2 Sig P245s. I found a good deal on a nickle 2-tone and...yeah.

Stuff I've bought - ONLY SELF TAKEN PHOTOS!

Shotmaxx shot timer. You wear it like a watch and it works like a shot timer (can be set to randomly beep and then tell you your time to first shot, second shot, etc as well as other modes). Boldly moving into the 21st century with an electronic powder scale. Up until now I've always used a balance beam type scale. -

I've wanted a nice range bag for awhile now, but they are so expensive. I got this one really cheap, I guess Hornady just wants some free advertising out of the deal, because there is no way this bag should retail for this price. I bought one locally, but you can get it here: http://www.hornady.com/store/Team-Hornady-Range-Bag/ Bags this size generally go for closer to $90 or so. -
I'm going with the guy from Kansas. His customer service has been WAAAAAAAAY better. He won't even process my order until he sends me some photos of alternatives just to make sure I get exactly what I want. The other guy may be fantastic, but the guy he's got doing his leg work in the US isn't up to the task. It's been a week since I sent my email asking about two of his options and no reply.

Maybe this winter. Weather's getting better, so reading is slowing down.

Nope. I'm figuring they didn't last long. Even Google doesn't come up with anything. Looks really weird, and I bet recoil control became an issue.

I picked up a .40 S&W barrel for the P229 today. This is cool for two reasons. One, I can shoot the range's ammunition when I go practice, so $$$ savings, and I've got a lot of carry ammo and practice ammo of my own in this caliber. I also have the stuff to reload it. .357 Sig has a reputation as being a difficult round to reload, and if you don't do it right then the bullets can move back in the case as the ones above it are fired, resulting in a cartridge with higher pressures and a blown up gun and/or injury. I will not be reloading .357 Sig both out of concerns for safety and due to the extra steps it takes to do it correctly not being worth my time. I can make a lot more of the other calibers in the same time. The sucky thing about the .357 Sig is a lot of the factory loads from the big name manufacturers are watered down. They do this as a cost savings measure. Instead of designing a projectile for .357, they just use their 124 gr 9mm projectile. These projectiles are designed to open up at a certain velocity. If you pushed them as fast as the .357 is capable of, they would open too soon or fragment, reducing penetration. So, they water them down so that they aren't much faster than 9mm +P ammo. There are specialty shops like Cor-bon and Buffalo Bore who load it like its supposed to be loaded, but then you get into the issue of training with one type of round but carrying something different.

I learned what a "cripple stock" is today from one of these books. Essentially it is a rifle/shotgun stock that is bent in a fashion that you can put it on your right shoulder but aim down the sights with your left eye or vice versa for those who are cross eye dominant. I've never seen one before or heard the term, so I guess it didn't catch on, but still neat!

I really wanted to get to the outdoor range today, but rainy rainy rain. I'm not dedicated enough to voluntarily train in the rain any longer, gave that mess up with the military. I did take the opportunity to get some reloading in, though. 130-ish .45's loaded up. That replaces most of what I shot at the last two indoor range sessions for that caliber. I've gotten a shit ton of brass saved up from range pickups now. I can probably load another 500 or so before I have to buy any more bullets and am good on primers, powder, and brass for awhile.

No, MW2 was the first one I got. I didn't have a console when the others were out. MW2 was probably 6 months old or so when I got back into video games.
-
Not really. Maybe the maps? I dunno, it was easily my least favorite COD. MW2, BO1 and BO2 were much more fun for me.
-
I didn't care for MW3 at all. Sounds like a pass for me.

I heard this on NPR today, and honestly I don't think I've ever heard of him before. They mentioned disc world, I'm curious if someone could give a brief synopsis of what its all about.
-
Nice Security Six he's got in the middle of that contraption.
-
....so...maybe?
-
I saw it down to $15 at GameStop. That's sort of concerning, as BO2 is still $30. (Used prices) So is Ghosts MP worth it, or just keep banging away at BO2?

Thumb breaks are too slow and can be inconsistent at speed. If you are carrying concealed, there's no reason for one. Open carry, yes, you need some active retention. I generally use a Bladetech holster. Details are in my firearms thread.
-
See, that's why I didn't post pictures originally. These are custom holsters. They look that way because that's what was ordered. You can get plain leather if you like, all exotic skin, or some mix. The top one is the same holster I'd order but no thumb break and a lower scoop in the front for faster draw. The second is pretty much exactly how I'd order it.

Stupid autocorrect.

Only the cheap leather holsters are floppy. Get a good one and it has structure, can be reholstered one handed and has good retention without needing a thumb break. Nylon is trash. No structure, no natural retention, soils easily, etc. Kydex is fine functionally. It's what I tend to use daily. Protects the gun, good natural retention if made for the specific gun, easy to maintain etc. I carry the same way all the time. Strong side 330. It mimics when I must carry on a gun belt. I don't want to have to pat myself down under stress trying to remember where I am carrying today.
