    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.

    Pistol rounds. I liked the .30-30 stuff
    .41 Magnum 175 grain Silvertip. Still a thing if you're into .41 mags.

    I have my last 30 rounds of that XM9001 in 2 of my first out mags for my 5904!

    I've heard it works fairly well in .41 Mag.

    ETA: Shoot, posted this before I finished the thread.

    I believe the 10mm 175gr silvertip worked well too.

    For sure. The best of that particular old school.

    I bought a case of this a few years ago and agree it is extremely accurate and clean shooting. Gave my son 100 rounds of it when he moved off to Baltimore and took my P228 with him. Still have a bunch of it left and have carried it in my G26.
    It only chronographed slightly less than my small stash of 9BPLE in my old G19. 1225 vs 1258 FPS. Good stuff and hopefully another batch will turn up soon.

    I wish speer would bring these back out maybe in the Lawman line. I still have a box of them but I don't trust that 'clean' priming in ammo this old for carry.





    Just happened to have these two little guys sitting on my desk. Nobody at work had ever heard of them so I brought them for show and tell. I always thought that the .44 should have had a bigger hole in it.
