      Just passed 3100 round in Diamondback DB9 Gen 4

      What I have found is that subsonic 147 gn bullets give less felt recoil in the DB9. While I keep hot Underwood Xtreme Defender rounds for carrying, I practice with these. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1021034161?pid=473987

      That's why they make bandaids. :lol:

      Smith J-frame....anyone pocket carrying?

      I made a couple of 3" J frames for plain clothes guys who wanted the power an extra inch would give them. I don't know why S&W didn't offer them back in the day.

      I would be happy to buy one made on a 3 D machine. On another note, I wonder why Magguts hasn't come out with a 2x extension. :shrug:

      They think the extensions are made of gold for the price they are selling them for.

      Pure lead brick

      2% is the usual amount needed to have bullets fill out the mold and anymore is really wasted. The third part of the alloy that you need is Antimony. While tin hardens lead somewhat, most of the hardness comes from Antimony. A good alloy for pistol bullets is 95.5% lead, 2.5% antimony and 2%...

      Pure lead brick

      Yep, I do the same thing. It imparts all the energy to pulling the bullet.

      Anything does better than the 158 LRN police load that's for sure.

      Smith J-frame....anyone pocket carrying?

      No, sorry. The last .38 J frame I owned, I gave to my nephew about 15 years ago.

      The older j and K frames were rifled for the 158gn bullet and are very accurate with it. If you shoot the lighter 125gns, they will shoot low.

      Pretty much how it is.

      Bob! That's the guy I got my holster from. I guess he kept up making after he retired.

      E, where did you get that holster? I have the same one that I got from a Chicago cop who used to make them on the side. I think I got it in the late eighties or early nineties.

      Migration observations...

      Today I have a Cat Bird sitting on top of the feeder. This is the first year I have seen any of these around Davidsonville.

      S&W ulitmate Carry revolver

      Put Hogue rubber grips on it for shooting at the range. It makes for a more comfortable outing.
