If you throw up a little bit in your mouth, your stomach will feel better. Sometimes 20 or 30 times a day lately.

Jocko, it's nice to see that you started shooting your PMJ9, or whatever you call it, again. You went a few years without changing the count.

I shot mine once in the last year and not much then. I have so many others that I prefer to carry. The PM9 did well and then I put it back as a hideaway backup in the house.

I carry the P40 most of the time and the P380 when on a short convenience trip or to a doctor's office, or any time I need maximum concealment.

I got this G30S for more firepower. If I need a gun, I want plenty of ammo and the .45, too, though the P40 is fine... just not as many bullets. The "little" G30S IS a fat sucker, though.

Congrats on a great deal, and happy birthday! I have a 30s also and like it a lot. I've never had a problem with trigger bite or hand discomfort; but I've never fired 200 rounds at one setting. Just got a CW45 and am very pleased with it; it's now my edc pistol. How is that holster?

Thanks. The CW is a nice size... my favorite Kahr size, but in the P-models. I really wanted a P45, but this G30S was such a deal that I couldn't pass it up, especially with the extra 9-round mags(better for CC) and the new holster. The holster is a leather/Kydex hybrid somewhat like the SuperTuck by CrossBreed, but less than half the cost... and free with the pistol. It works for carry and I didn't see anything at the last gun shows that I wanted to really try. There are shows the next two weekends, so I'll still look for a small holster with easy on and off... for when I could use it.

The G30S can use all of my Glock .45 mags, as well as the 9 and 10 rounders... a big plus. I haven't tried my Kriss 30-rounders, but I did try an SGM Korean 26/27 rounder that I had given some TLC and that was a big disappointment... jammamatic after a few rounds. I know the Kriss mags work, but certainly don't plan to carry them!

I've taken the G30S to the range 3 times now... the second time to test the new HD Yellow Front Night Sights, and the third just for practice with concentration on the front sight. I fired over 200 rounds on each of the first two trips and around 200 on the third trip, so I have over 600 through the pistol now. I like to shoot about 200 rounds and use new factory ammo... The Federal Champions and the Blazer Aluminum... all ammo is 230-grain. I also shot some defense ammo each time... Speer 230-gr GDSB and 230-gr bonded Remington Golden Sabers, as well as some +P 230-gr Gold Dots by Underwood.. I never had a problem except with the Korean mag, and that had Federal FMJ in it.

I've shot a mag at the beginning of each outing without tape on my trigger finger, but feel the trigger safety irritating my finger, so on with the BandAid... no problem then. The 1.75" bike tube grip cover keeps the nibs from giving me blisters, too.

I'm still practicing with my LaserLyte training cartridge, trying to focus on the front sight... and trigger control. It's hard to break old habits, though, and not have the laser dot jiggle at trigger break.

thanks, I have really slacked off the past few years. It rides in my pocket but I just don't shoot it like I want, so when I got my G43 and got it alltuner up, I took it and the K9 and the 43 to the range, . I just don';t shoot that PMJ9 well wyn, but I shoot the eyes out of my G43, . Makes me jealous. I have my PMJU9 slide at kahr now getting williams fiber optic sites onstalled, so right now my pocket is carrying my G43 and it does well in normal jeans with normal deep poclets. But I have a pair of designer jeans my son bought me for christmas that has shallow pockets and it willnot ride there at all. The PMJ9 wuld though, I have the PMJ9 lower at Taran tacxtical in komifornia getting a reedo over grip stippling lob b y them. They did such an awesome grip stipple on my G43 that I ask them if they could do a redo over an existing stipple job and they said sure. I had that stipple job done over 5 years ago by cylinder and slide and it was justy horrible, Hated it from day one. Not only ugly but also not a feel worth a damn either.

Anutter reason Ihad cut back is tha tnow I have to drive 15 mile sto an outdoor range that is open from wednesday to sunday and I try to go on wednesdays as hardly anyone is there, so I have the pistol range to myself. My local Izaak Wal;ton ragne pissed me off a few years ago when they told me I can't soot at 7 yards but must get back to 25 yards. I told them to go fokk themselves and never went back. They have since changed their policy . I will let u know how the williams fiber optics sites do for me. The big dot site puked out a couple years ago,. I had a set of dawson fiber optics put on my G43 and I luv um, so I fifgured I might like them on my pMJ9


GET WELL MUGGSY.
