The 125 gr. Nyclads gave good service, it was the 110 gr +p that left the unburnt powder under the star. I love Smiths, but for a duty weapon we are better served carrying the Sig. More magazine capacity and ammo interchangebility with our subguns. I would prefer to carry a 1911 .45, but would be very happy with a Glock, Sig, or Springfield Armory polymer gun, but neither option is likely to happen anytime soon. Regards 2Guns
