An interesting note. My handload .380 ammo has had quite a few ftf when I'm using the factory crimp die. Absolutely 0 when not factory crimping. I use factory ammo I'm just more confident that way.

When the side on my 4006 hangs up it tap the back of the slide with a dead fall (plastic hammer filled with lead shot)

It's a cinch that I won't be loading TG in my .380. I just got back with the new loads of Bullseye. (3.4) very nice. Shot some good groups so I good to go to load the mags in my carry. 380 thanks as always for the valuable input. MIke Grandick

Thanks on the blue dot info. I was kind of wondering about it. It was given to me unopened and I thought maybe 44 magnum powder but I already use A2400 with that satisfactorily. Mike Grandick

Going to go with the 3.4 of Bullseye. I don't even know what I bought the Titegroup for. I had to have bought it for something. Maybe for my 4006. Mike G

I have titegroup, bluedot, and bullseye available for the Winchester 88 grain hp bullets. Mike G

I just getting ready to load some .380 and can't really find much on a good load. I scored two bags of 88grain hp but can find only one recipe for 88 grainers. A few for ninety grain. Anyone have a tried and true load? Mike Grandick

Been a while since I posted but have put about ten boxes through the 006 and had to twink the sights abit but now it's right on. Also picked up a fourth mag from a gun show for $10. The guy had no idea what it fit and I told him I was gambling it fitting anything I owned so he asked $10 bucks...

I sold dozens of them when I worked at Bass Pro if they weren't any good you'd think the word would get out. Mike Grandick

Shot the 4006 today. Fixed nite sites. Shot three mags and no decocking issue. Also noted that the pistol came back from S&W with a mag. Didn't send any with it. Gotta love that. Shot to the left and had to drift the rear sight to the left a bit. Right on now. Does it really matter if...

I've sold plenty of M&P,s while working for Bass Pro and thought fairly highly of them. Good customer feedback. BUT it isn't a 4006 by a long shot. As I said. I never needed to change the adjustable much on any pistol that I've had with it. Much happier with nite sights. FedEx just called...

I was tickled to death. In the short time I shot it I put probably 200 rds through it and just shot balls out with it. With the nite sights it will sit on the night stand instead of my sig P238. Can't wait to get it. Mike Grandick PS now the search for spare mags. I only have two. This is...

timn8er No charge. I'm not the original owner. The pistol was purchased in 1993. The man died shortly afterward and it wasn't fired. It was still wrapped in the box when I purchased it from his widow years ago. I put it in the the gun safe and it just sat for years until a couple months ago...

A while ago I posted about my 4006 spontainously dropping the decock/safety after firing a couple rounds. S&W sent new springs but didn't cure the problem. The told me to send it back to them. Got a call from a man named Mark this morning and the had been working on the pistol and determined...

I use the 180's in my Delta Elite 1911 with eight grains of Unique no problems as compaired to 6.4 grains of unique with the 180ties in my 40 Taurus PT 101. I have a heavier than stock spring in both. The whole premise of appropriate bullet weight was started when I began using a S&W 4006 and...
