Fighting the good fight |
You're doing contact shots on paper at the range? Well, I suppose that's one way to guarantee a sub-MOA group... (I know, I know... I'll see myself out.) | |||

I carried a revolver as a BUG for a lot of years...(lets say a couple of decades on and off...). I still do ankle carry just because it's easier for me, with the new external vests I don't know a great way to carry it. I use a G43 now, just for ammo compatibility. Revolvers are great for backups and even for off duty. Don't let anyone steer you otherwise. Most gunfights (barring those on-duty where I don't have numbers for...) are over in 2-4 rounds and in seconds. There are few drawn out shootouts in these situations and you revolver is a great option. Enjoy...shoot...repeat... | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
Lol, I can't even be mad..totally set myself up for that one ! No, I'm not (although you're right, it would be one way to post some impressive groups )...but we had two P365s that had to be smacked back into battery at our last qual. Probably more to do with how those carrying them maintained them than the gun itself...but still not very comforting. | |||

I started with nothing, and still have most of it |
I'm liking your gun, thanks for posting this review. IMO the positive ejection 'problem' is mostly overstated these days, because there is not much real revolver training any more. Gravity is your friend, and back in the day all LEO were taught to eject with the barrel pointing upwards, so then ejection rod length does not matter.

I was issued an S&W model 10 with 2 inch barrel for 10 years and taught myself the following method to eject fired cases: Grasp the cylinder with left hand while pressing the thumbpiece forward with right thumb. When the cylinder is released and while holding it firmly, rotate it out of the frame and rotate the muzzle straight up. With the cylinder held firmly and muzzle pointed up, strike the ejector rod down sharply with the palm of the right hand, ejecting the cartridge cases as forcefully as possible. This works well even with sticky cases and short ejector rods. Left-handed shooters must determine what works best for them, but one method is to simply transfer the gun to one’s right hand and follow the above procedure. Added: The most important thing to avoid when extracting and ejecting cases from a revolver cylinder is letting a case rim slip off the extractor star before it’s fully ejected. That’s most likely if the cylinder is held horizontally and the extractor rod is just pushed back, as with one’s thumb. Because the extraction is slow and the rod isn’t long enough to push the cases fully out of the cylinder, the case(s) on the bottom of the cylinder may drop down far enough to slip off the extractor, at which point the case must be pulled out by hand. The worst thing is to let the extractor rod go forward and then the extractor may just push the case fully back into the cylinder. The case can be very difficult to remove at that point and the revolver is rendered useless because the cylinder can’t be closed until the case is removed = Death Stoppage!This message has been edited.
