My blowback gun needs momentum or else it won’t feed well. Last time I tried standard pressure 32 it had failures to eject. I’ve realized I need hot rounds to cycle blowbacks reliably.
Also Paul tried a lot of fancy self defense 32 (American spec) and they didn’t preform well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjgg2neYcGg there’s other videos with the hot European rounds and they do far better. Idk why they don’t make more +P 32 ACP in the US (which is really just CIP pressure level 32).

You know underwood sells hollow points too right?

>>
>>62153528
Yeah I mentioned that these calibers have traditionally had shit hollow-point performance which is why the Hydra-Shok Deeps are so valuable. As far as your particular gun, idk. It's not as if traditional 1911s aren't also ammo finicky. They're just old designs. You should probably stop carrying retarded shit and at least get a modern(ish) gun if you really need to meme caliber. The Tomcat makes a lot more sense than a 1903.

It cycles perfectly with Fiocchi and other hot European rounds and I only buy those for 32. There’s even a JHP fiocchi variant which I have but haven’t run because I’ve only shot one box so far.
>>62153548
It is when it comes to small rounds since if you load it with the hottest you can (good in itself) it never jams, even if you put a can on the barrel.
>>62153550
I’ll probably get a P32, to minmax size. Euro rounds still get 900fps out of it
>>62153553
Probably
32 was much bigger in Europe and even the Germans ran a helmet piercing hot load in WW2 so maybe only European markets have treated it as something potentially combat effective.
Buffalo Bore 32 is pretty good (and has similar stats to ww2 32) but it didn’t feed reliably in my 1903.
>>
>>62153567
Irrelevant since I never suffer a jam when running hot loads.
So hotter ammo is a cure for limpwrists. In blowback at least. Which is a cool discovery

HST is still good/the gold standard, I think I heard a rumor that they reduced the expansion since some agency wanted better windshield penetration with the 9mm.

New "hotness" would be
>>62143973
>I shoot Winchester Service Grade since it’s basically M1152 (military’s new round, 115 gr 1300 fps, +P if not hot enough to be +P+) since you can also buy Winchester Defender High Pressure 147 gr JHP (only from SGammo) where it’s the military’s M1153 (147 gr Ranger T like projectile with +P loading, ~1000 fps) where it will have the same impact as the Winchester Service Grade at least at 7 yards.

The M1153 round is okay, I think I should find some tests of it out of a 3.5 inch barrel since I do carry it in a 3.5, it expands well in a 5 inch M9, don't know if it'll expand out of a 3.27 inch PX4
https://youtu.be/YFFVsARpdVM

What is nice is that the M1152 and M1153 pair nicely for practice/defense and the M1153 isn't that expensive either at 50 cpr

It'd be awful if that ever happened, but thankfully it never has. There is no documented case of a law enforcement officer firing a round through their intended target and hurting someone behind. It's never happened. Overpenetration as a concern for the safety of bystanders is a myth.

My bad, I believe it was initially reported that it was over pen but it was a stray.

Still, literally every cop is carrying JHP to prevent over penetration for 60+ years. It had to have happened. Plenty of incidents of cops missing and hitting people, like in New York.

Not a Doctor, I shoot X-rays and CT scans. Here's another view of the bullet next to his aorta, which isthe big grey circle by his vertebrae with the rest of his heart above it. The streaking artifact you see is why you don't want metal in your scan, but for obvious reasons he couldn't exactly help it.

That being said I carry 124 gr +p speer gold dots because they run well in my carry piece and I don't notice a big difference between my accuracy or firing speed even with the added recoil.

That is especially surprising because the Sig V-Crown bullshit ammo has a mega wide mouth so you would think that to run well in the gun, 320s would be able to feed anything, at the very least. And if they can feed that, they should be able to feed the popular polymer-tip HP law enforcement ammo PDs use.
So what's going on here?

>>62153974
I think the cop panicked and shot 1 handed, maybe induced it with his other hand. So many videos of cops doing that. Hard to tell, but either way it did jam and seemed impossible to clear without dropping the mag. He would have died if it wasn't for his partner mag dumping from the ground.
>>
>>62153977
>Stainless doesn't rust right
It's stain less not stain free. Stainless steel can still rust if you don't take care of it, but the finish on the inoxs seems pretty durable and I've yet to see one rust, not that that means it can't or won't happen.
>>
>>62153853
Yes. Hollow points only have the theoretical advantage of a slightly larger wound cavity, but people have been telling me for about 20 years now that this advantage somehow does not inherently apply to projectiles larger than .356, so it's all bullshit. Hollow points and other dedicated "self defense" ammo are just another marketing gimmick to convince people that they will be killed without buying something. And it worked.
>>
I always here berettafags going on about how 92x is more features riches
What features are in 92x that aren't in fs?
>>
>>62154000
You can change the backstrap from straight to hump unlike the FS which just has the hump.
It also has a shitty red dot cut but at least it comes with a cut.
It has dovetail sights not shit ass milled sights.
It has a significantly better trigger group.
I think they changed the placement of the safety somewhat so it's harder to actuate it on accident by running the slide, which never happened anyway unless you were some hamhands dumbass but now it's even less likely to happen.

>Expansion matters, and you shouldn't carry FMJ for that reason.

That's not the case with low velocity pistol cartridges.
Those don't benefit much from hollow point bullets, they often lack the velocity to expand the projectiles properly.
And they've often got questionable penetration capabilities from the get go, which get drastically worse in combination with hollow point bullets.
I've seen X-rays of some guy that got plugged dead center in the chest with two rounds of .45APC hollow points, and the bullets were stopped by his sternum, leaving him with only minor wounds and some broken ribs.

For these reasons ball ammo and hard-cast lead are a valid self defense options for low velocity rounds, such as various .32cal rounds, and standard pressure (non +p) .38SPC and .45APC/Colt.
>>
>>62154303
>expansion only matters for low velocity-
What typical handgun cals does it matter for then? Unironically asking, I’m a soongun for CCW, HD, and obviously for range. Just trying to narrow shit down.
>>
>>62154338
Expanding bullets are optimal for any cartridge with enough ass to achieve adequate penetration in spite of the parachute effect. The only times you'd want to carry FMJ are 1. when legally required by international law or whatever shithole state you live in or 2. if you're carrying an inadequate caliber like .32 ACP and need as much penetration as you can get.
>>
>>62154338
>>expansion only matters for low velocity-

That's not what I said at all.
Penetration is the no1 factor in handgun lethality.
If the rounds lack the penetration power to reach and damage/destroy vital organs, then the rounds are no good for self defense.
Expansion is good too, but not if it comes at the cost of acceptable penetration.

So for standard velocity rounds (9x19, 38spc+p, 45apc+p, 40S&W, etc), as well as high velocity rounds (10mm, 357Mag, 357Sig, etc). Go with expanding bullets, this is inarguable.
Soft nose or hollow point, find a load that's been tested and proven to work well for the caliber and barrel length you're going to be carrying.

For low velocity stuff (380acp, various 32s, non+p 38spc, non+p 45), go with ammo that doesn't expand. FMJs or solid cast bullets.
These rounds already have questionable penetration power, and using expanding bullets only makes them worse in this regard. Especially if they're fired out of concealable pocket guns with short barrels.
The lack of velocity also means that expanding bullets don't tend to expand properly when they hit flesh and bone anyway, so using expanding bullets just reduces penetration and gains you no additional lethality. It's a bad trade.

>/hg/‘s view on purse carry as being anywhere near as safe and low key as AIWB?
I know this isn’t a question in most anons’ wheelhouse, but I can see the benefit in having both options for myself. Is it safe, and vaguely comparable in ease/speed of draw? I’d obviously swap purse/hangbag that could actually support it.
If not, I’ll live.
>>
>>62154365
I was about to ask more but anon below you reiterated. Thanks regardless. >>62154387
I didn’t mean to misconstrue your wording, phone posting reply window blocks the original message often. Very helpful clarification on my ignorance.
I saw .380 was somewhat common in subcompact or smaller, so I was vaguely curious.
It won’t be a worry for me. Not wanting anything smaller than a 9mm.
>>
>>62154400
It's hilariously unsafe unless you have the gun in a holster inside the purse, since the trigger could snag on literally anything else inside that compartment, and the draw is totally fucked—setting aside the fact that purse carry usually means that the guy who snatched your purse now has a free gun in addition to all your other shit, most purses don't have any way to anchor a holster at all, let alone fix it one spot that you can consistently reach for when you need to drop 200 lbs fast.
Please, just wear pants and a loose-fitting blouse and carry (A)IWB like a normal person.
>>
>>62154400
bra concealed carry is much safer and effective

>never trying to improve
Ironic, seeing as you never listen to anyone's advice and refuse to buy a 9mm. Shut the fuck up forever you hypocritical contrarian retard.
>>
>>62154427
I probably should have specified cross shoulder, with a hard formed holster to protect trigger guard.
But very fair. I’d still stick to AIWB when possible. I just can’t wear slacks or jeans 24/7 365 due to employment reasons and I also just enjoy wearing something nice out at times?
>>62154444

Isn’t bra carry super dangerous ? I don’t know shit though. That’s just the impression I’ve got.

All else being equal, bra carry doesn't sound that much more dangerous than carrying with your Glock pointed at your...femoral artery, just significantly less convenient to whip out.
>>
>>62154451
>can't wear normal clothes 24/7 for employment reasons
That sounds illegal. Did you know that you have rights?
>>
92x inox when?
>>
>>62154512
Eventually, surely. They already do every other combination of 92X and 92XP features, a Nistan 92X is bound to come up eventually.
>>
So apparently the x300U has an A and B variant. I've heard the A was meant for Glocks but wobbles, and then I've heard it has an extra locking system that doesn't get talked about a lot that eliminates the wobble. I've heard the B is better for everything hands down, but if you overtighten it on accident it warps polymer frames.
I don't intend on carrying it, just want to put it on a Gen 5 17/22 for home defense. Do any of you have a specific opinion one way or the other on the A or B models?
>>
>>62154498
>businesses can't set a dress code
Zoomie detected.
>>
>>62154107
You're not buying this fuddlore are you? Smaller calibers will have shallow penetration and then stop. Very rarely will they hit a bone and have the energy to bounce around like a ball.
Only high velocity small projectiles like 556 will tumble or fragment through a body consistently.
