Lehigh has changed my idea of a field pistol

[Clusterfrack]

Quick test today of 9mm XP handloads.

Gun: CZ P-07
Lehigh XP 115gr
7.0gr Accurate #7
CCI small pistol primers
COL 1.100”
1165 fps (sd 7)

Load was snappy and very accurate (3” group at 30yds).

I’ll be doing a more extensive test to confirm reliability soon.

Beautiful!

[Clusterfrack]

Range report:
Gun: P-07 mostly stock
50 handloads (see above) shot in various ways: Mag dump w/ <.18 splits, SHO, WHO, super loose grip with two fingers, sideways.

100% function and outstanding accuracy.

1150fps

Also shot a few Underwood +p+ with no issues. 1306fps! Very manageable recoil.

I’ve got my 9mm bear / cougar defense load.

I have tried to make my P07/09 pistols malfunction and have been unable to, regardless of how I have held the pistols.

I might go Gold Dot 124+P over the Lehigh on cougars, but stay with the Lehigh if there are bears and cougars in the same area.

I’m with you guys on the PO7. I have mine set up with the safety, and carry it cocked and locked, with repeat-strike capability.

Does Black Hills use the same bullet in their Honey Badger rounds?

Yes

Not as pretty as Cluster, but he is part of my stash of field loads:

Here's a picture of the 200gr .45 Cutting Edge Solid copper (spent bullet picture of this and Lehigh a couple of pages earlier on this thread). I loaded these to 1,000 fps (same velocity as Underwood 200gr +P) in my Kahr CW45 (always pocket gun).

So USPc .45 viable and what commercial ammo? Thanks!
