That’s a great price and a pretty good value I think. Some of these loads are pushing probably 28,000 psi and probably would need a heavier recoil spring.
@ - you appear to be correct. Just be aware what he shot was making 600’ish fpe. The lil’gun loads are approaching 800 fpe. So I would not run 45 super +P loads without modifications. But that’s just my opinion. Seems to be a capable pistol and if staying with factory offering you would certainly be good.
Impressive! Both that you this dedicated and the way lil gun seems to be performing. Ever considered wearing thin gloves? No idea how much they could help mitigating an unexpected event, but from reading others experiences with bad things happening with pistols, gloves seem like not a bad idea. The few accidents that I've read about online, gloves potentially may have helped prevent some injury. I too am fond of my body and it continuing to work as it should as long as possible lol
Morning. You would want kevlar gloves but very tight woven as far as thin gloves. But I'm not sure where to get them. I use cut resistant gloves gillnetting n they are very nice.. Id Also recommend a face shield in addition to the eyes n ears. But as for me, I've seen a rifle fail IRL n want no parts of it
@tommyrussell1415 the injuries I've seen from "hotrodding" pistols seem to be minor lacerations and bruising, and my thought is that even with say the super thin .5mm mechanix brand gloves, there is another layer between your skin and the pistol. It's not going to stop injury from something coming apart in your hands like a grenade, but if the grips crack and push out, and/or the slide splits, it may be enough to keep from breaking the skin. Reinforced gloves could definitely be a layer of protection for load testing where the reason is just in case there is an accident, not so much normal shooting practice. Thin gloves like those .5mm or the tactical mechanix are thin enough they really don't interfere with manipulating a firearm, or even loading rounds into the magazines. There is definitely a tradeoff between more effective protection, and being able to feel what your fingers are doing. I've noticed as I age I cut and bleed much easier than when my skin was younger, so gloves tend to be the norm for me anymore when doing anything that might involve abrasion. It was pretty easy to transition to wearing gloves for shooting sessions and similar activities when I got some that were thin enough to not require their removal to do those finer tasks. Merry Christmas!! :)
@@danya822 I'm mid 40s. But I notice I cut n bruise easier as well. Those Milwaukee cut gloves are really nice. Got em at home Depot I think. I haven't been around pistol failures. But my gunsmith double loaded a smokeless muzzleloader. It messed up his face n removed 2 fingers from his left hand. Dude looks like an ugly white Yoda with normal ears🤣. The other one was an AR 223 with a 300 blk round. Most of it went out the mag well, but I got hit by 2 small pieces. The shooter had a few small brass frags stuck in his face, but otherwise very lucky. Obviously he is not allowed to shoot at my range anymore.🤦
@@danya822 but, to your point in gloves, any thing is better than nothing, so yes gloves would help. Also not a bad idea to practice in them. If it's cold n you need a pistol might not have time to take them off.
Goid morning sir. Merry Christmas.
The xdm .45 OSP can fire .45 super standard from the factory. It’s $329 at PSA right now as they have discontinued them.

Completely factory! No changes needed. You can shoot .45 super and 450 SMC
