That wasn’t my pic of the snubby and such..... but my BB curve may talk to the .22.......:o)
That does look like the Remington Navy revolver, here's another one, an original.
It has two different trigger pulls. First , if you jack a round in the chamber, the piece has a very crisp “safe action” style single action trigger pull of about 4.5 lbs. Much like the glock trigger.
HOWEVER..if youre carrying it in a holster, you can press the decocker and the gun goes into double action only mode. It then has a triggerr pull much like what you would have with a 5-8lb DA pull of an M-9 beretta.
When you fire the piece, it goes back into safe action mode. Then you can either “decock” it or carry it in safe action. When Im packing it in a holster, I carry it in safe, but when I pick up the gun and just stik it in my waistband, I dont feel safe carrying it in anything but double action.
It’s worth the trouble though. If I were not so invested in a bucket of glock magazines, Id get rid of them and go to the P99 full time. I like it that much,
I have a P22 “target” version of your P99. I was wondering if your trigger for first DA shot was just as ........bad...:o)
Ergonomics of the P99 are way above excellent IMO. But for utility every day carry CHL rig I prefer a glock aka combat tupperware. I carry mine chamber empty just stuffed inside my waistband with full mag and spare mag in a pocket on left side of carpenter pants, The ruler pocket on carpenter jeans is perfect for a spare mag pouch.
Stopping power is a very complex subject. Life is biological, and the human target is complex. Hitting a nerve and missing a nerve is a tiny difference. The important bits are toward the back, and penetration is necessary to get there. Hollowpoints can over expand, and then fail to penetrate. They can also be filled with the target’s clothes, or arms if they have to penetrate them before striking the body. Since your target may be moving, you don’t have perfect precision in where the bullet may hit. So, with ability to hit your target, and deep penetration, a bigger bullet gives you an edge, as would the ability to get multiple hits.
I like the .45 Colt. I have one myself, as well as a .44/.45 cap and ball, and a .45ACP revolver (moon clips).
.45Colt rounds often have simple “cowboy” rounds which are not most effective. They are underpowered (700 fps) and at slow velocity even a modern hollowpoint will have trouble expanding. That is why for social occasions I depand on my .45 ACP revolver.
I have two main problems with my walther.
1. the magazines are $48 each. One could use the smith and wesson SW-99 mags as they interchange, but I cant find any for sale since the election with the exception of for the 40 caliber model. I shoot 9mm.
2. There arent many suitable holsters for it offered for sale. I ended up having to order a milt sparks model which should be delivered in April.
Anyone want to make me very happy? find me some $35 SW99 15 round mags for sale.
What’s the gizmo that says “Fenix” on it?
For the past year I know of folks that have done nothing more than buy high capacity mags for handguns and EBR’s with every intent of selling em later for 100$ plus prices each.
If I wuz you I’d snag what I can find NOW for less than 50$ each.......:o)
I know it ain’t a happy deal but time is against ya now.
If ya like turning junk ammo into good stuff easy snag one. Turns HP’s into really nice rounds. My stingers feed perfect in Ruger Mk-1, Walther P22, and Beretta 70/71S autos. Without the PK tool stingers and other otc ammo shy of CCI mini mags or expensive ely ammo will jam.
Reason I like the little S&W 317 wheel guns in snubby or 3 inch versions. You can feed crap through those and they will go bang ....CB caps are quieter that air pistol’s. Weird mexican longs, shorts, and exotic BS will work in my wheel guns as are. The PK tool I have is long rifle only. Wally World milk carton junk is turned into good quality stuff with the PK tool pretty much for auto or wheelgun.
I keep one on the bench and my spare in the safe I like em so much !
Stay safe !
A fenix is a very small, fairly powerful flashlight.
Im working on getting glock mags, AR 15 and AK mags as well as ones for the smith and wesson military and police, which I may get if Daddy Obama gives me a cut on my taxes.
that 317 has a horrible trigger pull, does it not?
Initially it did on DA but after a few thousand rounds and some panther piss of mine applied in proper proportions I can put meat in the pot all day with it in SA for survival and all 8 rounds center mass fast if need be !
It is so light it is toy like in feel and appearance. That is what makes it great. No issues at all for me.
Hope ya get what ya need on that magazine list.
Good luck, stay safe !
