From holding it feels is heavier than the pencil profiles. I was hoping it would weigh less ir equal to the pencils. They did state itis equal to or less in weight to a sporter? They were supposed to thermal between the journal and muzzle also, but only did straight flutes. This was a test barrel snd I won't order another like jt as regular cost is $200+ for the thermal fluting depending on gas system length. Good thing i bought it during a sale.

I usually get barrels from McGowen, but they rerely have sales unlike x-cal does. Nearly a sale for every holiday of 20% off and 24 or 48 hour sales of 30% off. They take longer to ship barrels than McGowen by 4-8 faster. IIRC i went all out on this barrel having it thermal fluted, cryogeniced and pained. Normal price would be around $850.
 
I saw that Academy had 500 rd. boxes of 9mm back in stock so I stopped in while in town yesterday. None to be found. Talked to the guy working there and he said "we haven't had that in months. I wish we did 'cos I buy a couple boxes". He even showed me his computer screen showing it as unavailable. Got home yesterday and checked the same location, and it showed it still in stock. :unsure:

Looked again today, still showing 2 boxes in stock. Placed a pickup order...15 minutes later it's ready for pickup.

Somebody had a stash in the back. Lol
 
Last month I finally got around to buying a S&W Bodyguard 2.0, after many months of toying with the idea. I already have a (N. American Arms) .380, but it's more of a range toy than a backup piece. The NAA comes with 6-round mags, which work great, but the extendo mags (10-rd) are problematic on a good day, and a jam-O-matic most of the time. So it sits in my safe, unloved.

So I get the Bodyguard 2.0 and I love it, but I'm a magazine junkie. I always buy spare mags. The gun came with the standard 10 & 12-rd mags, plus a 2nd 12-rounder in the same order. Today I just received my order for a 3-pack from TheMagShack. Now I have enough (for now)... 😁

As you can see, I've already loaded them up. Headed to the range in the morning, I plan on burning through a couple hundred rounds of several brands to see if she's finicky
 
You can bet that when I grab the Bersa, I'll be taking it out to the range for a "hard run". I want to get my hands on a new FN "High-Power" to see how well it runs. I'll tell you quite plainly, the new field-strip requirement for the "new" FN pistol makes it very attractive. The extra weight of the new pistol will make the handgun a pussycat. Hot loads won't even come close to bothering it.
