    The 124gr RWS is slightly more accurate than Lawman and significantly more accurate than any Blazer loading in my experience.

    I've never owned something that choked on steel jacketed ammo, period but I don't try new handgun designs at all. Glock/AR15, done

    Perhaps due to the step in the chamber?



    Going for tiny improvements in gas seal and perhaps accuracy at the expense of reliability does not seem like a good trade off for me.

    Huh. Now I'm going to have to shoot some in my P30 next time.

    I have been working the VP9 and p2000 mostly, since it carry the p2000 the most. Neither of these have had any issues in 5-700 RDS each.

    I have shot lots of Brown Bear through a P30. Its my go to training ammo for the past few years.

    There is a lot to be said for this philosophy, even if I've never been able to follow it myself.

    or you could just use brass case ammo...

    Thanks, Jay
    Hi jay, the steel is used for the case, not for the jacket. It is a big difference.

    Some of the coatings used to keep the case from corroding mess with some guns. I've never thought it was worth it.
