Slide is stainless steel, frame is anodized aluminum alloy. Remember, most 40 and 357 sig have plastic frames so it is likely the alloy is good to go :)

The test was conducted back in 2004.
I just looked over the Bureau test results for GS 230 grain bonded. Performs very well, no deficiencies. I would carry without reservation. Test barrel was 5”.
I have seen testing for the critical duty 135+p from 3.0-3.5 inch guns and it does well across tests in those barrel lengths. Expansion is limited, and it may be that the new GD2 +p is better, but...
Thanks, i appreciate the info! It’s DA/SA.
I have an as new (I do not think it has ever been fired) P239 9mm SAS Gen 2 in the box with 3 magazines. Beautiful gun I got on trade but I am fully acclimated to strikers now and do not see myself...
Fwiw, I have spoken to Hornady tech support and seen federal LE tests of critical duty 135+P from short barrel pistols, including as short as the P365 and G43. It performs well, there doesn’t seem to...
Thanks for all suggestions. I installed the Wilson grip module, and results at the range today were much better. I still need more practice on the platform but the WC grip seems to have solved my...
I’d be interested to hear more details about the agencies that are having issues with vcrown if you have them.
I’m not sure I buy the price argument on its own. Ranger T still fetches huge...
Thanks Alamo for the tips.
Hi all,
I’ve carried a Shield for quite a long time and shoot it well. I like the idea of 50% capacity bump and an extra half inch of barrel, so made the decision to buy a 365XL. I have put 250...
I saw some for sale at the gun show in Dulles, VA last month. 36.99 a box of 20 led me to pass, but they were there!

Maybe not the best bullet or weight, but widely available at a reasonable price and of high quality in Sig factory guise.
Flagging this test (bottom) from brass fetcher noting leading performance...
A large federal agency that allows the Glock 43 as a personally owned weapon specifically recommends the Hornady Critical Duty 135+P for that firearm and notes it provides the best terminal...
Georgia Arms makes a new production 44 mag load with a 240 fmj flat point at 1,000 fps. That might fit the bill for you. i bought some for a 329PD I used to have, and they are quite mild and very...
Thanks Velo Dog, it looks like it performs relatively well from the Glock 27.
Yesterday I burned through my old stock of 165 GS and transitioned to a new stock of 180 PDX1. In my platform (Glock 27), it occurred to me that the PDX1, while a bit softer than the GS, was still...
Has anyone noticed a change in recent production GD 124+P, 53617? I got a couple of boxes the other day and the exposed HP cavity wall was much thinner than the rest of my stock. The cavity looked...
Thanks to all for the help!
53918 appears to perform exceptionally well, at least by my reading of the test. Did they also test the other gold dot loading?
Thanks all, great info here.
I accept the fact 357 sig and 9mm are relatively equivalent. From an academic perspective, I don't really understand why though. 357 sig and 9mm bullets are the same diameter, and in the case of the...
Thanks all, I appreciate the responses!
Copy and thanks. If I am flipping a coin, Gold Dot it is. I use it in 40 and 9 so why not be consistent!
Hi all,
Looking for solid data or comparison/recommendation between Speer 125gr 54234 and 125gr HST. Platform is Glock 32. I have easy/cheap access to both of those choices of ammunition, and have...
