Revivals are great :)

I am back to the .40, though some low-right shenanigans have crept into my pistoling lately.

Shooting them back to back, it must be the loads I am using, because it's not that different.

Hey, Jim - Can you add .38 Special, .38 Special +P, .44 Special & .45 Colt to that chart? I'd find a comparison with those revolver rounds added to be useful.

Thanks!

It was a chart made by someone else (noted in this blog post), and I'm not skilled in such arcane arts. But my Good Lady Wife is (and did all the charts on BBTI), so I'll see if I can sweet-talk her to do it when she has a chance. In the meantime, if anyone else wants to give it a whirl I'd be more than happy to give them full credit ...

I like that chart. It makes me interested in 357 sig, I think i can get a conversion barrel for my G22.

Something i am tinkering with is loading the .40 down to emulate 9MM ( light bullet 155 grs /fast powder), and loading it up to emulate .45 ACP ( heavy bullet 220 grains and slower powder).

Maybe the middle is not so bad.. will let y'all know how it goes.

is it a terrible joke for a liberal gun forum to say that every time I shoot my .40 i am way left of the target?
I know this post is old, but I have the same problem. I have a glock 23 and I know it's an operator error. I keep shooting high and to the left. I can't figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong!

Sometimes that really is the best solution. No sense in banging your head against the wall.

drigeba, I do loves me some .357 Sig. It ain't a .357 Mag, but it ain't bad ... and comes with more rounds in most guns! :thumbup:

Hmm... I wonder what a single stack locked breech .357 Sig pocket pistol would be like? :whistle:
