9mm Range Officer

Recommended Posts

Just saw in Front Sight today that Springfield is releasing the range offier in 9MM. Probably be a fun steel gun light recoil due to the weight and load it down to duck fart loads it would be like shooting a 22 here is the page

I have a 9mm Kimber.

 

9mm in a 1911 platform is a recipe for a great time. Like you said, heavy gun with moderate loads so seriously minimizes recoil that it feels like cheating. Mine happens to be ridiculously accurate as well. Good luck with it and have a ball.

I have a STI Spartan and it is a great gun for steel. I hope Springfield gets the mags right, if not Dawson and Tripp mags seem to work for me and others have had luck with Wilson's. I have a few Wilson's and some work others not so much. They seem to nose dive much more than the Dawsons.

My springfield loaded in 9MM uses metaform mags from springfield -- 9 rnds -- they run well -- I guess springfield doesn't make their own mags -- at least in 9mm

 

 from what I understand Dawson's are tuned metaform mags with a different base plate making them 10 rnd mags -- they also run well

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
