I wanted to increase my mag capacity to 10, but was too cheap to pull the trigger on 6 Cobras. I have lots of 38 super mags for my race gun and thought I would give them a try. I shot about 350 rounds on Sun through 4 different brand 38 supper mags.

My NP29 has a trigger job, King's barrel bushing, 12 pound recoil spring, polished feed ramp on both the barrel and frame.

Bullets included 115 gr round nose plated, 124 gr hollow point plated, 124 gr semi conical lead, 130 gr round nose plated and 147 gr semi conical lead. All loaded with tight group to around 135 PF.

I did not have even one FF/FTF with any of the mag or ammunition except with the 124 gr semi conical. The gun would not feed that bullet with any mag including the factory norinco mags. Everything else fed without a hitch

Must say this made me pretty happy and I saved some money in the process.

Your 124gr bullets might start feeding better if you adjusted the over all length...I have a NP29 as well and could not find a new bushing anywhere for it....I want to find a barrel in 40 for mine...Canada is kinda the ####s for finding gun parts like that...
 
Barrel bushing is available through Brownell's. Had mine in a couple of days. Gunner at Armco has 40 cal barrels.

We are talking about a bushing that fits the slim little 9mm barrel on the NP29...? I'll check it out and also "Armco"...thanks for the "heads up"...
 
I'm at work and can't measure but IIR the barrel od is aprox .500, much smaller than .45 ACP.

I just tried to find the bushing on Brownell's website and there are no King's parts listed anymore. I believe Fusion may also have a 9mm sized (.500 od) bushing as well.
