With their abbreviated barrels, usually about 2″ in length, the little revolver’s effectiveness is less than its counterparts having 3″ tubes and certainly those with 4″ or longer barrels. This is just one of life’s compromises when going for a small revolver that is extremely easy to conceal…and therein lies the rub. Between serious students…
Fiocchi ammunition has served me well for years, not only in my Hi Powers, but other 9mm pistols and while I’ve used it in other calibers, the vast majority has been selections in their 9mm FMJ line. It has consistently been reliable, accurate and the cases worked very well for reloading. When I could find…
The below-listed velocities are based on 10 shots fired 10 feet from the chronograph screens using the Mk III pistol and factory barrel. All measurements are in feet per second. Obviously, this is not a complete list of all available 9mm ammunition. I couldn’t possibly obtain all possible 9mm loads even if I could afford it! This list can…

In the past, expansion was a “sometimes” thing. While that is still true today, it’s my observation that bullets intended to expand actually do…most of the time.

While I am not an ardent fan of this weight bullet in this particular caliber, I’m no longer quite as adamantly opposed to it as in years past. This deviation from the more popular and…
Whitetail Deer On Dec. 27th, 2003 @ approximately 4:46PM (CST) I shot a deer using a 9mm Browning Mk III pistol. This Mk III was very lightly altered from factory configuration. Changes included: · Wolff 18.5-lb. conventional recoil spring and Buffertech shock buff · Uncle Mike rubber grips w/skateboard tape on the grip strap · Bobbed spur hammer…
