I use Missouri Bullet Company for my lead needs. You should check out their prices.

I think 40 S&W is the most common brass I find laying on the ground at the range. I don't reload it but pick it up anyway. Last time I traded a 5 gallon bucket of 40 for a 5 gallon bucket of 9mm.

You can also get $2.50 a pound for brass from Freedom Munitions/Xtreme bullet. I am waiting till I hit 40 pounds to cash it in. I am going to use the USPS flat rate box, as it takes up to 70 pounds for about $16. |

[QUOTE=tx gun runner;190686]I love the look and feel of the P238 . I need to shoot one ![]() ![]() It is truly an amazing little pistol. They must make 15 different models, both both of ours are stock & came as pictured. About 1000 round through each, as we alternate shooting them each range trip, not a single malfunction from either. For a short barreled pistol, the accuracy is amazing. Another amazing thing is you can shoot it all day & it does not wear you down. We carry it with Hornady's Critical Defense ammo, but practice with a 100 gr. RNFP bullet from Extreme. I load them to shoot like the carry ammo, so it won't feel any different, if the need arises to use it. I pocket carry mine in a Galco leather holster, but with the standard 6 round mag, not the extended 7 round one in the picture. I carry it cocked & locked & one great feature of the design is you can remove the mag & rack the slide to un-chamber the round without taking the safety off. I have never shot the old or new Colt mustang, but I hear it's the same, design wise. Last edited by moakes58; 08-03-2014 at 07:01 PM. |

Senior Member Joined: Jun 2008 From: Ft Hood , Tx area Posts: 11,626 | This is just a point and I'm not trying to down grade the Sig in any way shape or form ...... the Glock's and Kahr's has one great feature of the design is you can remove the mag & rack the slide to un-chamber the round also anytime you wish and there is no safety to put on or off and since the guns are never cock there is no way to fire it till you pull the trigger to cock it . I don't like manual safety on POCKET carry guns you carry cocked and locked , now this is my opinion you can knock the safety off super easy . The IWB or belt carry is the only way I would carry any SA action gun with a manual safety cocked and locked .
