9mm cratering?

[wild_weasel]

My go to plinking load in 9mm is an X-treme 115gr FMJ over 5.0gr of Unique. It functions 100% in my P95, LC9, and Blackhawk Convertible.

You don't need a link.

Measure case expansion at the widest point and compare it to factory ammo.

Wouldn't the case expansion be limited by the chamber of your gun?

A straight walled chamber limits case expansion, true, but a 9mm has a tapered chamber. The higher the pressure the larger the case gets. You can easily distinguish between standard, +P, and +P+.

Personally I love it. I bought it years ago when they first came out and my buddy liked shooting mine so much that he picked up one also. Same trigger action as the my 92 so going back and forth between those is easy, but after shooting my crisp-like-glass 1911 for a while, I have to re-acquaint to the the trigger pull lol. Take down and cleaning is quick and simple too.

But it shoots like a dream. Shoots flat as hell, even with a shorter barrel than the 92 (rotating barrel is awesome... it actually only does about a quarter turn but you can tell a difference between it and the 92). When I ran through my test rounds, I used a laser on the rail for the first time (at 25'), and it was shooting tight as hell with that laser (with a laser I could practically duck under the table on the first couple rounds and still hold it on target, LOL!).

On Sunday we were tagging a 11x17 metal plate at 150 yards for fun.... and I was hitting it just as often with my PX4 as with my 1911.

Probably my only complaint is that the mags from the PX4 and the 92 are damn near identical. The 92's base is just slightly narrower, but the mags both have the same shape, so it's easy to confuse the two when they are stacked together in my safe. I have learned to separate them, heh.

Fun little gun though. Sleek and simple.

So the mags are not interchangeable eh? Bummer... Cool. I think this is one of the pistols I wanna get next, but I did not look at one yesterday, I will look today hopefully...

I've also enjoyed mine to the point I'm thinking of one in .40
I haven't shot the .40 yet but I'm told it tames the round the same way the 9mm model does.

Yeah, kinda sucks... worse is both mags fit in each other's guns, but won't quite lock in, heh.

But still love them. And since I refuse to jump on the Glock bandwagon, it's a good answer from Beretta to the Glock crowd... although I'm sure none of them will ever switch. Shame really. And just call me old fashion, but I really like having a hammer...
