I'm using CCI small-rifle primers in my M&P 40s and they work just finely.. Several peeps here convinced me, I tried it, they all worked, so I am.. The best part of this for me is that my 'pistol'-primer count went from 3K to 10K instantly! :D

I agree with this and am using CCI 400 SR primers in my 40S&W loads, 100% succesfully and with NO apparent pressure changes.. I was lucky to find a fellow only an hour away from me who had 3K of CCI SP primers which I traded for and bought.. Added to my SR primers, I now have 10K!!! :D

Of your in-stock powders, Hodgdon's 2016 manual has only CFP achieving velocities in excess of 1100FPS (5" barrel).. Another consideration for me with my 10 was overall noise, so I chose a just-subsonic load running about 1080 - 1090FPS.. I used HS-6 with 180s loaded to about 1090FPS. If...

This is the GENUINE, hi-end Federal Premium Tactical ammo in 50-count boxes, Fed. #P357SHST1.. I bought all this several years ago when I was shooting and in love with the 357SIG caliber and thought I'd love it forever.. I have FORTY boxes of it.. This afternoon, I found it in stock at only one...

After returning to .40S&W this summer for my single Personal-Defense cartridge, I bought a new and traded for one of my old fullsize M&Ps.. Bought a BUNCH of premium Federal and Winchester PD ammo but then found the Barnes TAC/XPD ammo on (closeout?) sale in several places.. Bought all of...

Bump.. Price reduced to $52.

...pulled by me from Federal Premium 40S&W cartridges, one at a time, to salvage the primed cases.. $52 plus $8 Priority-Mail shipping to the 48 states and to a PayPal-confirmed address only.. Payment by PayPal--'Friends' only, to my e-mail address of jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net. These, of...

No light hammer/striker springs...both stock S&W M&P 40s. Loaded 4 cases with the SR primers; the two pistols went 'bang' 4 times. :D Thx everyone for all the advice.

I understand that rifle primers have thicker cups--to withstand higher pressures--than pistol primers, hence requiring more force to ignite than a pistol may have.

...they'd be willing to trade for CCI 400 small- or Winchester WLR large-rifle primers or Winchester WLP large-pistol primers? I'm happy to give you double the number of any mix of these three for any American-brand SP primers.. Five-hundred would make me happy and a thousand would make me...

Further on my Ammo post above, #12, around the time I ordered the Barnes TAC-XPD ammo, I remembered the 40S&W 'new' nickled primed cases I had accumulated a few years ago.. Found and estimated a count of them--what that means is that I was way too lazy to count them--and also found a box of...

Caliber? Not all of us know everything. :o

TY; probably a good idea.

Got to the indoor range today. I used four of my nine magazines and five of my loads including three handloads.. The pistol and all the loads and magazines functioned perfectly.. When I'm just holding it, the V2.0's grip surface is very sharp and NOT comfortable, but when I shoot it, I never...
