If I wanna carry 9mm as opposed to .32 or .380 AND have controllability, then I gotta use the low recol stuff, or choose another pistol. <br /><br />First rule of a gunfight: Have a gun.<br />Second rule: Have ENOUGH gun. <br /><br />It wasn't the cold, so much, as the dampt that gets to me. I'd be more confrotable at 10 than 32. And when you've frostbitten yer hands badly enough often enough, the scars start to ache....I aint't 20 anymore. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110246970957910039.post-13436480429338710642021-01-17T13:19:30.310-06:002021-01-17T13:19:30.310-06:00I am a gas bag to be sure, B.
But in this case I...I am a gas bag to be sure, B. <br /><br />But in this case I am intrigued. Federal ammo is, on average, pretty good ammo. I don’t shoot much factory stuff, but I have shot it in temps down to -30C. Their premium stuff is about as good as it gets. I have to be fast with the chronograph at those temps because batteries don’t last long... and with my rifles all I noticed was that velocity fell off a bit. It might explain your problems with it. In the case of low recoil stuff... my question would be “why are you shooting it?” Unless you have physical limitations I’d suggest that you get the meanest, hottest loads you can for self defence work. <br /><br />Finally: if you’re cold at 0C... you aren’t dressed right, or you’re a pussy.😆👍<br />Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110246970957910039.post-44724760416024889312021-01-17T09:27:52.888-06:002021-01-17T09:27:52.888-06:00Glen:

It isn't the gun, it is the ammo.....But I test every combinaton where my life might depend on it). <br /><br />You blow hard and pontificate but I think you are just that, a blowhard. ...have you tested every combination of your carry firearm/ammo in every temperature? More than a magazine full? I think you are just talk. Plus an asshole.

The only accuracy loss was me shivering.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839439008984987493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110246970957910039.post-14307539216246675732021-01-16T15:48:50.231-06:002021-01-16T15:48:50.231-06:00Good idea.
