    3 Gun Comparison


    (L to R: G41/1911/G36)

    Undoubtedly, the best .45 ACP load I’ve ever tested. 
    I have a new found respect for the Speer Gold Dot. I think I need more calibers.

    Outstanding results from all three. Definitely, not something you wanna get spanked with.
    A 3+" group at 25 yards with the G36 is adequate for a conceal carry gun. The old battered full size military 1911's back in the day were barely capable of about 3" groups at 25 yards and they were what we depended on.
    Today we expect so much more but a 3" group will still get you a hit roughly centermass if you do your part.
    Love those results 😍 Thx

    Great test!  I may have to try those.  Currently, I'm in love with XTPs.    
    I know I carry and shoot 185s....can't remember if I load HPs.
    Hmm.
