CT9 gonna take over for Colt....for a while maybe.

If you have the opportunity, try some of this ammunition. The recoil reduction makes it worth seeking out. Admittedly, any 185 grain 45 ACP ammo will be softer shooting than 230 grain ball, which is why the IDPA and IPSC guys like it for matches.

However, this Federal stuff is usually reasonably priced (in my experience) and very accurate in my CBOB.



At least get some as an occasional treat even if you stick with 9mm for personal defense.

Best of luck, sir!

I like this ammo in .45. Its a mild round but works very well in my kahr .45's. It does expand in my amature ammo test too.

Thank you for the kind words.

Over the years, I have pretty much shot up most of my other 45 ACP ammunition.

Fortunately, there are a fair number of cases of this stuff in my stash.

I guess you could say I am saving the best for last.

The good news is that I still see it offered for reasonable prices from time to time, too.

May Jeff Cooper forgive me but I'm OK with a 9 especially for everyday carry but at home, I still prefer the 45. This was an ammo test I did several years ago using 24 hr soaked newspaper covered with 1 layer denim and two thick towels. The 9mm ain't bad but the 45 is hard to beat.

Them 45's are gonna leave a mark for sure.

I attended 2 Winchester ammo seminars they put on here locally at our range. It was a lot of fun. They had the real gelatin and shot a bunch of comparison. The host agency got to keep a board they made up similar to your picture with all the different slugs.
Couple of my guys were suppose to go but got tied up on cases so I went at the last minute. I was late and kind of disrupted the seminar, it was outside and rather informal but still a disruption. (actually a forte with me).
Anyhow to amend myself I stayed after and helped pack everything up, clean up etc.
Got a bunch of pogey bait for that. A Clock, T shirts, can't remember what all. To some its just trinkets but I kind of dig the stuff and still have all of it.

You put forth quite an effort to create your own ballistic test. Well done sir.

It does not matter the cartridge you shoot. None are guarantied one shot man stoppers Carry the one you can shoot best and that includes double or triple taps. I'll spit the difference and continue to carry my tp40 IF I can after surgery.. Underwoods 1302fps with a 155gr ain't bad ether when its a gold dot or xtp

Thank you Bawanna. hardluk1, agree 100% and right now, right handed or left handed, I shoot my 4 Kahr 9mms better than any of the other "few" handguns I have and with no pain. I bet that Underwood load is a doosy!
