[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2998337, member: 122164"] IMO, this pistol is one heck of an upgrade over a Glock: [MEDIA=youtube]rrOhcdK3kyc:95[/MEDIA] JE Custom, that is an astute observation on the gas checks in a semi-auto, I would have never thought of that, but it is pretty obvious when you think about it. I have a precision tool that you can insert down the barrel of a pistol, and measure how much each chamber in the cylinder is out of alignment, and some are terrible. Some chambers in a cylinder are .006-.016+ out of alignment, you can see where a gas check could come off, but I have never experienced this, those pistols were traded in. Water quenched bullets cast out of pure linotype are an option when you want penetration. I shoot a mix of 50/50 wheel weights and linotype and sand will not deform the bullet at 10 yards, this mix would suffice and I have never checked the hardness. In cast bullet competition(rifle) 1800+ fps with gas checked, pure linotype, kitchen heat treated bullets are the norm fired out of 308 Win The more obvious solution is to shoot a 200g-220g, hold velocity to around the 900-1000 fps area with cast bullets Please check out GT Bullets, George has exceptional knowledge in the 10mm and more. George offers three grades of hardness in his bullets and offers custom sizes to fit your bore. Check out this 220g HP. When you get George's bullets in the mail, they look exactly like you see in the pictures! GTbullets.com 180-220g hp in 40 cal, three different hardness levels Most leading comes from the cast bullet not matching the bore, so lead is vaporized as it blows by the bullet, and this is another discussion, JE touched on it.
