I spoke with Jarvis and the barrel is off at their vendor getting its DLC coating. So another 3-5 weeks at the vendor then back to Jarvis for final inspection before shipping. At this rate I may have...
I wish the .30 Super was chambered in a pistol that I would be interested in owning. Maybe in 2025…
At this time, I could pick .38 Special or .40 S&W and be fairly content.
Glad the .40 and 9mm barrels are not grody. Wonder what the deal was with the .45’s? Hungover technicians ?
It is a 4095 with a maladroitly typed z added in !
Seems encouraging. Thanks.
Once I pay off my .40 1911. I will be in the market for a Hi Point 4095z
Hello,
Once I complete a layaway and get a set of Badger grips for my .357 GP-100, I will be turning my attentions toward getting a .40 S&W carbine or two. A Hi Point 4095 is on my short list.

Jarvis probably won’t have my barrel shipped until September. So everything is on hold for a bit.
Ask for a new revolver. Three separate defects spells qc reject. I had Ruger replace a SP101 .38 that had off center firing pin strikes.

I understand your point and I understand I am gonna pay more ultimately but there are other factors that affect my decision. What I did not say was that I have already had the Gunsmith install a...

The 10mm in the 1911 does not interest me at this time. The cartridge is however something I hope to acquire eventually. Probably a Hi Point Carbine, S&W 1006 and Ruger Vaquero/Blackhawk. These would...

I shot 10 rounds of each powder type underneath a 180 grain coated Eggleston flat point bullet. All rounds cycled. I need to get used to the 96D trigger. That said no evil pressure signs and the...

The .38 Super is neat but is not chambered in many other pistols. I have a Beretta 96D and plan on other DA or striker fired pistols in .40, so ammo commonality is a feature I am seeking for the...

I am not interested in .45 these days and my interest in 9x19 is waning. With the .40 S&W seeming the uncool kid these days, perhaps it was destined that I would take an interest in it. I often...

I am now 50 and I have my lead levels tested annually. I have been doing that since roughly age 38. So far my remediation techniques have been working as my levels have always been in the safe range....

I did one test round of a commercial coated Eggleston 180 grain coated flatpoint loaded with Win244, Win572 and Autocomp. All cycled in my Beretta 96D. No evil looking primers or bad pressure signs....

Midway is not the best barometer for discontinued items. I think discontinued in Midway’s use means THEY have discontinued stocking the item, the actual item may or may not be still in production.

Need ? Most likely no.
Want ? That is another matter :bigsmyl2:

I define good as not flattening primers, blowing cases and being stiff enough to work with recoil springs that are meant for factory fmj.

I have heard good things about Power Pistol but sadly it is hard to find. Is Accurate #2 or # 5 good with .40? Those I can locate

Hello,
I am lining up materials for eventual handloading and casting .40S&W. I have a good supply of W231 & Autocomp due to my 9x19 handloading. Has the brain trust here used these powders with...

Thanks for the replies all! It seems the aluminum gas checks are not inherently problematic with regards to leading or accuracy.

That is a stout load! Your accuracy with it would be better than mine!
