    Mmmm, well, I actually prefer the 7.62mm for accuracy. Red 9s just never seem to shoot as well, even if they're in excellent condition. I've no idea why! P'08s seem much more accurate, even when a bit rough.

    You have to see shotgroups out of a good Red9! Good reason for an competition 08 vs.C96

    My Red 9 turned out to be a M30 that had been rebored to 9mm Lugar. I hadn't done my homework on the C96 and should have know better, but I always wanted one so I jumped on this one at the Reno show. As it happens, I like this arrangement, the pistol is accurate and dead on a 50yds, and 9mm is cheap(?) and easy to get. Maybe you are in the same situation?
