Frangible 9mm

I’d get a reloading machine.

He did, and is going gangbusters, just he found some cheap bullets so he bought some rounds as a test.

95 grain. They feel on par with light gamer loads, but would definitely feel light compared to regular off the shelf 9mm.

All I care about is reliability in cycling and the difference in POI wrt my defense loads as I don’t have separate training guns.

Re the latter, how much differently are they printing?

As someone who has seen quite a few frangible rounds, go through pistols in a training, academy environment, accelerated barrel wear is only one issue.

When we issued the P229 in 40 we had people breaking extractors shortly after graduating the academy where they were required to shoot about 3000 rounds of frangible ammunition.

Long story short, the frangible caused increased slide velocity, which caused premature war on the extractors. The solution was two replace the extractors on all the guns prior to them departing the Academy.

So, help me think through this…. I am concerned about grabbing a bunch of this as one of my training guns is a P365 with a PMM comp/ stock springs. I was thinking the light bullet-high velocity would help the comp work but decrease reliability on the stock springs. If the slide velocity increases as you state- would that buy back some reliability?
