I carry a Para-Ordnance P-12. ammo is Pro-Load's 230 grain PLus P JHP. When not carryinga gun, I carry a Smith Model 36 J frame with bobbed hammer. Ammo is Pro-Load's 125 grain Plus P JHP. At times, I will carry Mrs. Charley's E German Makarov. I've installed a set of Novak sights on it, and it is a hell of a shooter. Both autos will easily make the 500 round mark with no malfunctions, they've done it more than once.
