I've shot a sub 12ft.lb 9mm, the trajectory is interesting to say the least.
Because of the ludicrous drop it would have to be FAC
for any sort of target shooting accuracy.
The pellets work out a bit dear as well.

I bought this rifle in about 2001. The twin cylinders hold just under 500 cc. I think you need that much storage to keep form contentiously refilling. It shot about 3 inch groups at 50 yards with pellets or round balls. I cast the round balls form pellet scraps and they weighed 69 gr. The same as the pellets. The round balls drifted less in the wind then the pellets. I recall it had just a little less then 100 foot pounds of energy and gave about 10 good shots.

I shot this rifle in a big bore tournament in Pennsylvania and got a third in the woods walk.

I have had valve problems with this rifle, but it seats the pellet/ball into the rifleing something the single shot Careers don't do.

i am looking at the dragon claw in 9mm it is the biggest calibre i would go for, for target shooting and i would use it for vermin control how far do you think i can shoot this 9mm and be accurate.

Hi Ian , i shoot the daystate wolverine ,303 @100fpe using 50.15 grn pellets
this as accurate as the shooter is,.and devastates prey it has 18-20 full power shots,
its a lot mre than the dragon claw 9mm, but imo its well worth its price.
i love shooting my wolverine its great fun.

Hi
the price of the 303 is a bit more than i would like to spend, as i am on a budget the 9mm is more doable .
the price of the wolverine i would buy a nice 223 or a 243 i just cant spend that much the wife will have me.
I like 9mm as i was a pistol shooter until they got taken away.
I will stick with the 9mm and hope it is the right one.

The new Evanix GTK290 is in 9mm but being sem-auto would make it a no no over here. But I can still dream

That depends on you and the size of the vermin, but I remember doing pretty well out to 50 yards. Of course this was a dozen years ago and there are better guns and pellets now.

Since I made my last post I watched a video of the Evanix semi auto. Without a doubt it is much more accurate then my Career Ultra. I understand that the Rainstorm comes in 9MM also.
