Hello 1957Shep! Greetings from Brazil! We currently have tough decrees on calibers here in Brazil. And currently the strongest caliber we can buy is the 30 Luger. Would you be able to do a comparative test between the 30 Luger and the 380 ACP, to help the Brazilian public in their choice?
30 Luger is quite a bit more powerful than .380 Auto. The standard loads in 380 auto is a little less than 200 foot pounds of muzzle energy while a standard load for 30 Luger is over 300 foot pounds. But the types of ammunition available for the 30 Luger is very limited unless you reload your own ammunition. And even then you are limited in the bullets available to do your reloading. In 380 you can get a lot of different kinds of ammunition. Mild, hot, solid, soft point, hollow point, ect. Plus 30 Luger ammo tends to be hard to find (at least here in the US) and a lot more expensive than 380. If 38 Special revolvers are allowed in Brazil, it would probably be a better choice than either the 380 or 30 Luger. While the 38 Special isn`t as powerful as 9mm or 30 Luger, it is still a good choice and works well. Has been used very effectively for 120 years.
@@1957Shep CBC, a national industry, has already manufactured this ammunition. And we are in a campaign for it to produce again. But I need more videos and evidence to show the local public that today our best option is the 30 Luger. I appreciate any help, and I can help with the dissemination of your work, if you can help us.
Don`t know how old it is. I`ve only had it a few months. Buggered screws are fairly common on guns. Happens pretty easily if someone doesn`t use the proper type of screwdriver.
Thats not the blue wearing off, that is what CZ calls black chrome. Its not very abrasion resistent and has been known to wipe off pretty easily just from carrying or cleaning. These guns also tend to develop a crack in the rib about 1/2 inch foreward of the acrtion. Has anyone else experienced this?
