I got an average velocity of 1161fps with the XM9001 from my M&P compact.

Thanks. I will post my results hopefully within ten days or so.

Two Federal 124gr Hydra Shok +P+ shot in clear gel. One penetrated 10 ½ and the other 11 ½ . The expansion is decent but still short in penetration.

Hydrashoks tend to have issues with heavy clothing, as well as intermediate barriers...

Hydrashoks tend to have issues with heavy clothing, as well as intermediate barriers...

They also tend to blow up/fragment when they actually expand, and thus penetrate poorly.

Saw that a number of times with standard 124gr. I would theorize this would be worse with +P+

I meant to put that post in the other thread but oh well.

I also shot two standard 124gr HS in the same block and both of them completely passed through the 15in block.
