I have been taking my cherry 9mm bolo to indoor range lately to see what it would actually do. It doesnt seem all that accurate with 4 inch groups at 25yds the norm . Muzzle rise is quite pronounced without the stock and god forbid if you wrap your thumb around stock under hammer! OUCH! John I have never had 9X19 fail to feed/fire in 600 rounds in the last 10n years since a guy did a beautiful restoration conversion job on a very clean .30 Bolo. But then again I dont fire much defense oriented hollow points in it. I'm not going to fire this thing alot more I think I know what it can do now. It CAN deliver body hits out to 200+yds with stock attached and I shot a goat in head at 50 yds. I think if I was world explorer before 1960s this combo would be way to go. Oh yes my Bolo has 6" 9X19 barrel now and carved dragon fancy stock that was fitted to it.
