Why don't you need a coat hanger out the back and the longer barrel.

because it's 9mm (well .356tsw actually) and so it is section 5 or section 7.3.

a coat hanger and long barrel would not make a 9mm semi auto pistol legal

That is very nice

Will the proof marks be hidden be a shame for them to show up on that finish.

Nice!

I'm glad i'm not the only one who can't find the 'I've got a new gun' thread though

plan is for laser engraving, subtly on the underside, with any major stuff going on a proof certificate.

but atm, they are a bit worried as there is 0 load data out there for the chambering. I have requested it be proofed as 9mm+p in the longer case, but it seems they are reluctant on that.

If memory serves, maximum 9x21 data was the jump off point. .356 is something like 15000 psi over 9x19 max. And is it not SAAMI spec’ed?

Not that the proof house are to be trusted with rare and valuable guns…. Vandals!

well yeah, thats why I was thinking 9mm+p , or +p+ as that shouldn't stress my lovely gun. and ultimately, I'm not going to load it to full poke 356tsw as the range isn't spec'd for that.

I have had an email from sierra bullets saying essentially that.
I also found this... look at the 4th from last page

70000psi maximum proof load?!!! Wow!

That's not far off a proof load for 7.62x54r!!!

Wow what a beauty. Jealous as hell.
