What did you do today in the world of firearms?

Finally got my scope mounted.
I hope it zero's in OK.

Nice AK.

I thought it was an AR-47 with a fully semi automatic selector switch.

I hide all that with Duracoat.

[OhShoot!]

Bought a 22 caliber air gun for rat control.

I ended up ordering a Glock 19 from PSA due to the 20 gl9 pmags they are tossing in as part of the deal. Didn't know I even wanted one.

Hooked a work buddy up with an AR-15 i put together for him. Anderson Lower, JP precision spring kit, Premium full Auto Carpenter 158 bolt BCG, Palmetto HB 1:8 mid length upper and a new Pmag for 475 bucks.
Spreading the AR Love, he had a budget and mama is watching the money.
Ex Army Ranger, he always wanted one of his own....done.

Went to the range and tested some 165-grain 9mm Luger loads . . . and they worked!

What kind of 'slam' forces were happening to the bolt????

I didn't even know they had 165gr 9mm bullets. What were you shooting them through?

Yeah, these are fat and heavy 9mm bullets designed for subsonic loads. The idea is that they're even quieter (i.e., slower) than 147-grain bullets. The first time I tried them, I loaded some with 2.6 and 2.8 grains of Titegroup, but they weren't 100% reliable. This time I loaded up 3.0 and 3.2 grains of Titegroup, and both groups of ammo were 100% reliable (granted, only 20 rounds of each) through both my XDm and my Glock 17L. Both guns were fired with and without the Octane 45 suppressor. So, I'm going to load up the rest of the bullets that I have (another 450 or 950, I can't remember) with 3.1 grains of Titegroup and call it good.

I also took some 147-grain loads, to compare. I think the 165-grain is SLIGHTLY quieter, but there's really not much of a difference. I'll stick to 147 grain in the future.

Rick, the loads are actually pretty light in the recoil department, definitely easier on the gun than my normal 115-grain loads.
