 |
|
Hunting season is in full swing so it is a bit tough to find time to actually shoot but I finally stopped everything and went and shot two clips of ammo (12 rounds) through my new JA32. All I can say is "thumbs up and well done Jimenez Arms!
The target was shot at 7-yards, an appropriate distance for self defense with this caliber. The action fed and ejected rounds without a hitch from both magazines that came in the box. I did not mess with anything on the weapon other than to paint the front and rear sight. The target square is 2".
I shot the load I'm using with my Bryco M38 which is my TL314-70-RF cast bullet and 2.2-grains of Titegroup. Here is a detail of the load specifics.

RD, Glad you took time for the "priorities" Good shooting. Just might have to get one (or more) of those.

A JA-32 is on my post-Christmas shopping list. I'm really glad to hear from you again.

Nice pattern. I will be selling the new JA-Nine Jimenez Arms is sending me, and picking up a JA-32. I am very interested in discussing the art of reloading .32 ACP, as I also use this round in the Kel-Tec.
One of the "issues" has been finding bullets--are you making any available to forum members to purchase in lots of 100? Also would appreciate your thoughts on Bullseye (which is what I have been using) vs Titegroup.

Yes sir, first twelve. What tickled me is point of aim = point of impact with this fixed sight pistol. My Bryco M38, same caliber, is not.
Another odd thing about my pistol is that it came with M38 magazines. Interesting because I'm alway trying to buy them for my M38! All the JA-32s I've seen advertised have the JA-380 type magazines with the large butt on them. Mine might have been an early JA32.

Thanks Ferg. I bought my pistol locally but have run across a fellow the has super low prices on any firearm, including the JAs, and minimum shipping. He sells on Auction Arms but if you call him direct and tell him what you want he will give you a rock bottom price as he doesn't need to run the auction. Here is his contact info:
Bradley Kennedy
BK Arms
608-289-4103
He could have saved me quite a bit and shipping a handgun is $13.

I'm sure I could help you out with the bullets. I use Hodgdon powders but the best way to see what Bullseye does it shoot it!
