The only disadvantage to the 940 is that it's heavy, if that matter to you. I carry my 2" 940 in a pocket holster and it doesn't bother me. As for velocity, I have gotten 1182 FPS with 124 gr. jacketed bullets and 1080 with 147 gr. jacketed bullets. I shot both these loads in the 90 plus degree heat the other day and did not have any extraction problems. I can beat these velocities in my 2" Model 60 .38 Special, but only by very little and the difference is not worth mentionin.
