That's good to hear. What powder are you using? Is there much of a variety of propellants available there?

The 3rd generation Smiths are great guns.

The 3rd generation Smiths are great guns.

Ditto that! From "The One That Got Away" Department......local dealer c. 2004 had a mint-condition Model 5905 for $550. Thass' right, blue carbon steel receiver, blue slide. Thought it was a mite high at the time. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I have always found S&W 9mm pistols to have very lead-friendly barrels. I don't have any experience with their new line of M&P pistols, how do they handle poured boolits?

I always liked the looks of the "wings" on the adjustable S&W pistol sights. The Vectan powders are pretty rare here, but I have heard that ba9 is the one for 9 m/m. I've never used any Vihtavuori for 9 m/m loads, some 45 ACP but mostly precision rifle, it is expensive powder in the US.
