• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Yep, only problem is a thorough lack of bonded JHP's that will fit that are more than 95 grains.

If I'm going to be stuck with 380 performance, I'd rather pick my choice of 380s, personally.

I'm not trying to convince anyone in particular of anything, just trying to make it clear why x18 is currently a false promise of a performance boost above 380. It is a very widely held misconception that it's a happy medium, and at one time it was. Not anymore. :(

Ironically, I was demolishing a building in Glendale to make way for a new QT in the fall of 08, and saw someone pocket carrying one, sticking up well above their pocket. Man I miss AZ.
