Meet John Ricco of C.P. Bullets-
NOT JUST A BULLET
COMPANY ANY MORE
By: K. Bond Pace A-6962
I luiew John Ricco long
before we started dealing with
each other in business. I used
to call him and just talk, and he
freely gave me information that
might have taken me months to
find out. As he said to me, "I
just started doing bullets for
fun," and look what happened.
C.P. Bullets, John Ricco's
child, has blossomed into a
major force. He carries Ernie
Hill, Accurate powders, Super
brass, his own design (the best
in my opinion), mag pads, and
now he has started a revolution
in 9 x 21 caliber. John has most
of the barrel manufacturers
putting on their 9 x 21 barrels,
''CP 9x21." He imports the
brass and manufactures the
bullets. The bullets are his own
135 & 150 grain FMJ C.P.
ELITES.
John sells the reamer to
convert your old tired 1911 9mm
to a 9 x 21. The brass is the
exact same weight as .38 Super
brass but, as you can see in the
photo, is shorter. This gives you
an idea of the density of this
brass. It is made to last a long
time. The 9mm is a Winchester
silvertip, the 93E21 is a 135 C.P.
at the recommended length of
1.250, and the Super is a 150
C.P. at the length I like, which
is 1.272.
No, you can't use the 9x21
brass in a Super, it falls down
the baffel, but this brass/bullet
and Accurate #5 is totally unreal.
I feel really comfortable
shooting this caliber: the brass
is so thick, it just gives me a
safe feeling. Feeding was flawless,
and as far as recoil is
concerned, don't be concerned if
November/December 1991
you have to keep checking to see
if bullets are really coming out
of your barrel. It looks like the
9x2 1 is coming of age, and we all
have John Ricco to thank for
making it a reality. If you try
any of his products, you just
can't go wrong. He won't sell
you something you don't want.
John also sells reloads, with
your brass or his beautiful
nickel brass, either in major or
minor. Just tell him what you
need and you've got it, it's that
simple. Give John a call and let
him know what you need, and
remember, tell him you read
about it and saw the pictures
here FIRST in USPSA's own
FRONT SIGHT.
