  1. You've done one of the most important steps. You've identified what you want the ammo to do--reliably function and safely punch holes in the target! Some folks want to match the recoil and impact point of their self defense ammo. Others, for some reason, want the max possible velocity; useful for hunting, unnecessary for paper punching. A chronograph can be a useful tool; if the velocities of your reloads are higher than factory than the pressures may be too.
  2. terminology questions Is the never exceed info in manuals for normal ammo or for +P ammo? Does it assume the round is seated to the min OAL (so if you seat it less deep, is it less potent?). One other point on your original question. Most cartiridges do not have a SAMMI +P specification, only one SAMMI max. Cartiridges that DO have SAMMI +P that come to mind are 38 Special, 38 Super and 257 Roberts. I've never heard of a SAMMI spec for +p 380 ACP. Note that some ammo companies sell products marked "+P" for cartridges that there is no SAMMI +P spec for.
  3. If you are LE, Mil or EMS you can get LE/Mil program pricing on new S&Ws and Glocks from select dealers who are in the program. The prices are fixed and the dealer makes a fixed profit. Bought two M&Ps in 09 each for ~$100 below low retail.
  4. Thanks for the report. How did the stock grip safety treat your hand over the four day course?

    I've had one since 2004. Moderate lubrication seems to be all that's necessary. Solid, high velocity ammo seems to run best. I think hollow points deform on the feed ramp. The small grip is great for youngsters, but the short barrel which I have produces a good deal of blast. If I get into suppressors this will be first. Good shooting!
