Didn't get into it yesterday but I was shooting the Sig Sauer m17 or p-320 with the Romeo reflex sight on it. I think serious shooters will evidently go to these sights as they are the best I have ever used.  Holstering is still an issue but my holster guy made one for it but concealed carry is a problem for me. There are other issues anyway. I am waiting for universal outside carry to be accepted anyway.  Craig

Hey Craig, so only concealed carry in your state?

Kenk

Take MN for example, it's either or

You can outside carry in Ohio but no one does it. My main point is that with the romeo site on the top of the sig it doesn't holster very well at all. Craig

Got it, if this will be primarily for carry, and you are talking 10 yards, and likely much less, if it were me, I'd just go with the factory irons, functionality removing the issue, but that's just me

gadabout

It has both but you would of course have to remove the romeo site but why not just switch to one of the other 30+ guns I have setup for carry?? In fact the Taurus g2 is perfect for carry and I haven't found anything really better. The Sig is a better gun for target shooting for me is all. BTW got 200+ 9mm cases in the oven drying so hello more 125g HST rounds. One funny thing is I was going to use Universal powder to save the Power Pistol for better rounds and then remembered these 125 HST are my better rounds. Ha Ha.  Craig

Lol, have a great weekend Craig!

One more thing. Wet tumbling the 200 9mm cases turned out like new. I know we have talked about before but getting the cases cleaned  this well with the primer pockets like new is a very big part of reloading for me. These cases were all kinds of bad, old, tarnished, burnt, a real hodgepodge of bad cases. They are as new looking as new cases are. Just saying.  Craig

Well I have done 300 out of 500 HST and I am very short on primers so had to stop. One nice thing about the HST is they are all for me!!!After all who deserves them more?? Nobody that I can think of. I give away the fmj as they are cheap and feed and shoot in any gun. I allways make sure my friends have a few JHP that I suggest they keep for defenceive work but that can be 50 rounds they never shoot so it's good as I like the 125 HST for myself. Got to find some primers. Anybody else heard about this company that bought a million small pistol primers and only needed 1/2 a million so the rest will be sold off. It's  a strange deal as the primers are from Switzerland or some place that makes primers. They are Rudg brand but the company that bought them is having shipping issues to ship them to local customers. I have talked to the gent that is trying to sell these primers and he is trying to resolve the shipping issue in a week or two. I have seen a picture of the packaging of the primers and they are loose packed from 1400 to 1500. Accurate counts but not all the same but at 100.00 per pack I will take a chance. We will see.  Craig

Hey Craig, I asked the Google about (Rudg small pistol primers) and nothing came up, not sure what that means, but isn't a good sign to me. just a FYI, good luck

loose packed? like dumped in a Zip Loc?  :o

Kenk

Lol, that was my first thought

gadabout

Yeah, packed loose but the picture looks more like an envelope of some kind,cardboard or some other material I think to be dumped into a flipper of some sort but this is why the shipping problem I would think. Craig

My only concern would be that Google found nothing on that product ???
