I am the fanboy?

As you may get as much as 50FPS +/- in any given load and you have both slow and fast barrels, I'll stick with my +P 124gr or +P 115gr loads. That way I don't have to worry about a pistol with a slow barrel fired below zero with a load that may or may not be at the low end of acceptable velocity.
The Federal HST in 147gr is a top round. I provided links with chrono data and photos of how it performs in the real world with a slightly smaller barrel to refute uninformed bias in this thread. Examples of other top rounds were also included for purposes of comparison.

Next time, please feel free to back up any claims with data, rather than resorting to name-calling. It will prove more helpful to the OP.
