Yes I have used it in handguns. Refer to a loading manual.

I also had superb service on my SP101 327 Fed Mag. Wrote them a letter of appreciation

Vito I hear you. When working and standing all day and then walking home, I would pocket carry Kahr CM9 in Dockers style pants. I am now retired. Hurts my shoulder when holster past 4 o'clock. Same as you. Most comfortable is OWB leather holster. Can even carry full size Ruger SR9. Position is...

Are you shooting factory 230 gr "hardball" ammo? If that is 100%, then it is time for ammo search to find reliable expanding defensive ammo in the short barrel. If 230 grain hardball is not 100%, then it is the gun not the ammo: >>definitely back to Ruger or experienced gunsmith.

It could be said J.M. Bowning designed the 1911 around the 230 gr round nose hardball bullet. Grip angle, throat, magazine design, feeding angle follower, feed lips, design of extractor,etc were based on the reliability of this bullet only. Any other change in ogive can/will change reliability.

I had the exact problem with my Ruger Sp101. Cases that would be too tight for my Ruger would fit fine in my S&W mod 19-3. After much head scratching and anguish I found that the Lee FCD would fix the problem. Problem also should be fixed by polishing or reaming the Ruger's overly "tight"...

Ankle holster with strap. Draw from seated position.

Something else to consider. Any firearm used in a defensive shooting will be confiscated by the Police for evidence until the case is resolved.

Belly band holsters with straps are available also.

Agree the SP101 is fun to shoot. Do not know why,maybe it is like Dave P. said. It is "Goldilocks" in size >> not too big & not too small. Uses 22 L.R. so can shoot 200 rounds without burning up the pocket book. Use cheap ammo (.03/round) because it does not have to cycle a slide. More fun...

I have an Alabama Kydex pocket holster for both my Beretta Pico and Kahr CM9. Biggest difference between them and leather holsters is the thumb tab. With hand in pocket, and my thumb on tab, the pocket draw is every bit as fast as a belt holster draw. I have seen Kydex holsters similar to the...

I had that same problem with one of my SP101's. The problem was the transfer firing pin bar sitting too far to the right,not obvious at first. After much trial and error and a few days later, I figured it out and used a punch to move the transfer bar into the correct place. Unit then easily...

I am a hobbyist reloader and like the Lee 3 carbide dies due to their cost and efficiency. For a single stage press I would suggest the following: Resize & deprime all shells. Prime all with a hand held unit if the Forster does not have a primer arm. Use the Lee charge through the belling...
