I ordered some 9bple from CTD. My quaint Sig P6 did well with it and everything else after I had the ramp polished. I checked CTD for more and 9bple was all gone. Rats! I'd settle for the 9bp, though.
ReplyDeleteRe "finicky" nines, My P6 was a disappointment until I had the ramp polished as I said (11/81 stamped on the slide). I've had a Smith 469, an HK P7, a Sig 226 all without function problems.
I can't bring myself to snub 9mm anymore.
CTD offers the 9BPLE more often than they do 9BP. I check CTD almost every day to see what they have; if I see any 9BPLE there I'll blog a notice here or I can email ya if you would like.
ReplyDelete(Hanging head) I appreciate the offer, but I lurk there enough probably for both of us.
ReplyDeleteHaving fallen for so many darn gun fads, my current rube behavior is having bought that P6.
I am currently, however, successful in resisting the urge to buy a piston operated funny caliber AR15.
Keep up the good blog work!
Hey guys - we've got a fair amount of the 9BP in stock at the moment, and I'll keep an eye out for the 9BPLE and mention it on Twitter and Facebook when we get the next shipment in.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I know what you mean; I was sure glad when the supply of P6 pistol dried up in the stores around here. Almost made the purchase several times... fine looking pistols.
ReplyDeleteTake care, dmurray. I sure appreciate you stopping by.
CTD, thanks much for the heads-up. For some reason Blogger did not list your comment for me to approve until just now (about a one day delay).
ReplyDeleteRight now 9BP is plentiful at my local Wal-Mart. TNOutdoors9 on you tube did an ammo test of it not too long ago. The bullet failed to expand through 4 layers of denim into Sim-Test media. For $15 a box of 50 I might pick one or two up.
