I'm just curious, why not just replace the barrel after all these years?
It has been that long since I loaded these rounds I cannot recall what the charge was. I think it was 3.6 gn, but based on an answer above that might be light. (4.6????)

The gun is a Tanfoglio P19, a pre Witness CZ 75 clone. Not sure the current barrels will fit. Even if they do, the barrel minus any fitting costs is near enough to what the gun is worth these days, given the Witness, Shadow I and Shadow II incarnations currently available.. And I prefer the 1911 platform now.

I just thought it would be nice to take the gun out now and then if I can find a suitable load.
