Love my 1911's but the reality is I just go out back and "make holes in the air". A plinker I am. 1911's can be fussy about bullets, magazines, and probably things I've don't even know about. My LC9 requires even more practice than the .45's.
ALL my magazines function fine with a Lyman 452374 so that's what I use. It's basically what the gun was designed to feed too. 2 DC's easily take care of my bullet needs though naturally there's a 10 grain difference between the moulds. No big deal there for my requirements either.
LC9 easily digests the 356402 so I've looked no further.
Both are fed a diet of Unique which is one less thing to keep on the shelf. Might be a "better" combo but doubt I could actually tell shooting offhand and I don't try and push the upper limits of a cartridge anyhow.
Takes care of my plinking needs as inexpensively as I can make it.
Ammo for any serious social encounter will always be commercial though. One less problem for the aftermath should I ever be unfortunate enough to get into a life threating situation.
