that warning makes no sense. 9BLE was developed years ago for the Illinois State Police and they carry a Glock as standard.

The warning does call out that Glocks are fine, but yeah. I wonder what the chamber pressure actually is. Is it a legitimate "don't blow your fingers off, retard" or just the lawyers noticing that they averaged five psi more than SAAMI spec and making Federal cover their asses?

Not sure, but ISP uses Glocks as stated, so anything built to the standard of a Glock will be fine, like HKs.

The load was developed to work in their Smith and Wesson 39's...

I guess Federal loads them to the exact spect for the max load pressure for +P, with little headroom, so you can have variances in the load that will exceed +P pressure, hence the +P+ rating.

I guess I'll just replace the recoil spring early if I shoot thousands of them.

i was understanding they still use it pretty regularly for ISP, and some other state law enforcement (Glock, S&W 59, others). while it's +P+, something that shoots reliably in a duty Glock 17 should be reasonably working in most other full size locked breech handguns (longer action, lower slide velocity, lower recoil impulse vs smaller pistols). it somehow not working safely in an M320 is very weird.

I run a 4-12x vortex on my 300 win mag, honestly find it perfect given the limits of the rifle itself. Had a 3-9x, it was OK.

But I wanna ZZZOOOOOMMMMM 🤪

No joke, getting on a 5-30x coming from a 3-15 or similar is hilarious. Especially if the 5-30x is in a 6.5 Creedmore that shoots like a laser and is hitting .3 MoA groups at 100 yards.
 
I replaced the spring and follower in the ancient Colt 30 rounder I got for cheap at the gun show. The spring and follower were so worn that the mag had trouble feeding the last 2 rounds. Feels kinda bad but it's probably what Eugene Stoner would've wanted.

I ran a box of it through my G19 and it didn't really feel much more spicy than typical range ammo, but some of that could also be due to the Tungsten recoil assembly I just tossed in, too. (Gen 4)

I'm confident that all of my HK's, and other full to midsized wonder 9's that I own will probably eat this just fine, but I would be hesitant to use it in say... an LCP, or something like that.

Funny how PSA took this long to come out with a shotgun when people in developing countries can make half decent ones. I wonder how low their price will be.

I can get a Mossberg 500 for like $300 practically anywhere, I'm not even interested in a PSA copy of an already cheap shotgun.

Now, if they decide to start importing those Turknelli's and upgrading them with better parts, well, I'll think about it.

Probably be under $500 otd. It HAS to be no more than a Mossberg 500 and honestly can't be too much more than a Maverick 88 tbh.

Still near that they're making it buuuttt WHERE IS MY SABER JAKL???

Dumbass psa just improving a cheap gun in every way and selling the recievers to make tac14's while also probably costing the same as a new 500 smh

Now if they imported a knockoff gun from cockroaches who have shit on their fingers and improved it by replacing basically all the parts that would be based
 
I'm going to get a Tikka T3x because I want one.
My conundrum is this -- I do enjoy .30-06 and .308, they're both great, but I do want to get into the stereotypical hunting rounds. I find .270 Win to be interesting since the hunting buddies use it, but commercial loadings leave much to be desired with a decrease in bullet weight over the decades to 150 grains at their heaviest. Though I am also intrigued by 6.5x55 Swede, because it's got a lot of fuddlore behind its prowess although I haven't seen it on the shelves of my local shops.
My distances will be ~100-300 yards, rarely 500. Caliber diversity is not a concern, my working guns are well stocked. Soft points/JHP/Copper projectiles will be the focus because it will be a gamegetter on top of being used for general long distance funsies.

Anyone have experience with Tikka, .270 Win and/or 6.5 Swede or all of the above? Or just shill your durr gun, discussion is healthy.
I've looked up reviews and even reloading forums but caliber wars get terrible when it comes to innawoods, I tell you what.
