I wondered about a 32acp for the Beretta 80X – it is a blow back operated pistol – actually has a surprising amount of recoil for a 380acp – the nature of the beast . . .
I dug around a bit and came up with Allegheny Arms – I will do a specific post on them them when the 380acp barrel gets here – I screwed up ordering and the folks there were VERY helpful in straightening out the mess I made – LOL!
So here is a quick look at what I have so far . . .
Extended threaded 32acp barrel complete with thread protector – Really Really nice machining – every bit a good as factory – a beautiful and consistent finish – dropped right in and ran good . . .
Really did not “aim” – had just enough time in my running like a crazy person on that day to zoom in and run two magazines ( a basic function check ) – from GunMagWarehouse of course! – interesting – very interesting. Essentially the same recoil impulse as a 380acp 80X – but – about 1/3 less felt recoil – hope to get out next weekend and swap back and forth between the factory 380acp barrel and the 32acp barrel – a little side by side comparison – but -32acp really makes the 80X a sweet little shooter . . . and the reason i hang a target to do a quick function check? people really give you some strange looks if you just shoot in an empty lane . . .
All ready to go home and get the rubber ducky out and take a bath . . .
Bruce – What are you planning to do with a threaded barrel – One of those EVIL silencers I suppose?? First of all – there is no such thing as a “silencer” – that’s hollywierd commie bullshit – they are suppressors! They simply muffle the sound impulse – not silence it!! You can still her the sound of the shot and there is still a loud crack if the bullet is traveling faster than the speed of sound . . .
I like the shirt – but – Why not simply buy the correct magazines??
And then on the way out I grabbed a pic of my Blushing Bride’s current object of want and desire and texted it to her – Heh Heh . . . Pissed her right off I’m here to say – She really wants one but doesn’t want to spend money . . .
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
