Well mobile, you are only the second person that i know who has succesfully made 9 mm major work, with Quigley being the other one. So far any that i have seen or dealt with has been finky to say the least.
The other reason for my comment is check out what the big boys shoot. they mainly shoot a 38 super or a variant. since these guys basically shoot for a living and can pretty well shot whatever gun/calibre they want that tells me something as well.
again personal preferences are of course key in any decision for a gun or calibre. the big one of course is get out there and shot!

I think JoJo Vidanes is using 9major as well. As far as having an edge on anyone by going 9major, I doubt it. But when comparing to what the "pros" are using, one must remember that alot of them are sponsored one way or another and ammo is usually a part of it (sponsorship), so most would stick with tried and true for sure, and not be concerned with having the freedom of cheap brass. I have been shooting 9x21 and 9x19 for a long time and have no issues what so ever.
Walter it is the mags not not the gun that is 90% of the problem.
Once you get the mags tuned and running there should be no problem.
As for the pro shooters. If I was given every thing I need my choice would still be 9mm.

Mine works great now. Like Mobile 1 said, working out the kinks in the mags is the ticket.
Regarding the pros - well, if you're given brass to shoot, it kinda takes the whole 9mm vs. 38 SX issue out of the picture.

Self-built gun. STI Frame, Slide, etc. 4.15" Barrel, STI threaded Comp (Kept one hidden for myself), Swiss cheese slide to my specs by Rodger, all kinds of other goodies. I have it around to "play" for now, but focus on Standard until my eyes start to go...
I had the frame from a racegun I burned out (barrel, comp and slide) a way back, just took me a long time to get it back together.
If the brass was free and plentiful, I'd be 38 Super Comp all the way for the same reason you state - case capacity.

Wait....your eyes still work?
I think I'm entitled to hate you for that, just a little.

Nope. I cut the slide in case I wanted to, and found that I was happy without them.

Are you selling VV powder Sean?? Or do you have some other supplier?? Been looking for a some 3N37 to experiment with on an IMM.
