PM inbound, James.

Received and Replied.
No, this is the first box I've bought of the stuff. I go by the same handle over there too. Thanks for your help, it's going to the training pile and I'm going back for some regular 147 gr Gold Dots. I'll look at it as a cheaper way to vet new pistols with my preferred carry load.
Kinda related to this thread...
Someone at my agency (who is a firearms instructor and who shall remain nameless that comes here frequently to look around) got it in some folks head that we need to switch from the M&P 45 to a Glock 17/19. Not that I disagree with him but I like giving him a hard time. Part of that process I was to set-up kinda went to shit for me when I broke my ankle and I handed off to nameless. Anyway, my part was to arrange for a "ballistics test" from the local LE supplier. After breaking my ankle it was rescheduled by nameless to when I was in the Bahamas. Just my luck...lol.
The tests went as expected...nothing new to add to any data points. The G2 ammo was also shot and did well. See the attached pic. They also used denim but those projectiles were not included in this presentation to the PD.
Since penetration is the key element, it is interesting that the standard 124gr+P GD did better than the 147gr loadings. My though is, if the M&P 45s are working well for your PD, then why change platforms?Kinda related to this thread...

Am I the only one surprised by the lack of glass penetration with the 9mm Gold Dots? Not what I remember, and not what the published data is. I would have expected 12 - 14 inches, not 8 - 9 inches.

I'm intrigued by the fact that the 124 grain +P gained weight in gelatin.

So did the 230gr...
This demo was not done by ATK even though it was offered. The ATK event would have been an all day (8 hr) event and having the entire admin out for this was not an option...please read between the lines and on that. Looking at the projectiles today I do not see any gelatin but that doesn't mean it's not there. That display was put together by the sales representative that we buy our ammo from.
