I had a lot of respect for retired Army Major George C. Nonte growing up in the 50's and 60's, but I am a lot older now, and know some things about about metalworking and metallurgy.
I would not be very comfortable, nor would I recommend, putting a chamber sleeve in front of a 9mm Luger cartridge that was only 0.022 (twenty-two thousandths) of an inch in thickness for the cartridge to headspace on and then consistently firing that pistol... tool steel or not, this does not seem a safe practice to me... [B]I would like to hear the opinions of the other gunsmiths on the forum about this practice... whether you are a pro or an amateur.[/B] I also never remember seeing these sleeves for sale during the period mentioned by Nonte in the article that was posted at the link above... displayed again here for those who wish to read it:
