Not a ton of recoil/muzzle blast/flame throwing. I'll probably go up a couple 1/10ths and check out velocity jump and group size.

And out of my Sig P365 9mm with a fairly stout load of CFE I'm getting 1,146 FPS with a 115 gr. XTP. Again it seems to be very stable. High velocity of 1,157 Low of 1,129. Not a ton of muzzle blast, recoil in the small gun is good, comfortable. Accuracy is good as well.

I believe I'm going to experiment some more with this powder. I'm impressed with how it's performing so far.
In my 5" 9mm with a 115 gr FMJ bullet with CFE-p powder,
6.1grs gave me 1252fps.

It works well in the 38 and 357 for target loads with plated bullets, also.
