I use the same Hornady's as you and I am loading w 9gr of Power Pistol. It seems to be a good solid load so far. I am shooting a RIA 1911 and Glock Gen 5 Model 20.

Bluedot and long shot for me also, power pistol works great also if you can find it....

Well dig in, Son, dig in!
My hands are on the long side, I usually wear XL gloves. I found the middle size insert fits best for my hands.

Not gonna give the powder weight, but my 200 gr WFNGC boolit using Longshot in my 5" 1911 is clocking at 1210FPS. It is also one of the most accurate loads in that gun.

200 grains at 1210 fps is quite a thump when it hits. You have bears or moose hiding behind your targets?

No, but this is exclusively my woods carry/backup pistol. We have lots of mean hogs.
It would seem you have recently acquired a M&P 10:: what's your 1911 in 10mm and your rationale (which I am sure is most rational
) for carrying it over the new one?Cheers!

You're knocking on the door of 12.3-12.4 grains to get that velocity with Longshot. I bet that feels pretty solid when you pull the trigger. Hope the action can take it.
No, nowhere near that. It is only a few tenths over published max, that is several grains over max. Not sure what powder you are thinking about.

Well. Long story. Have had the P16-10mm for about 20 years. We go way back. I still haven't really wrung the M&P out yet nor have I tried the 200 grain cast in it yet. Still aggravated at S&W telling me the raised metal on the breech face was "cosmetic". That cosmetic metal is leaving a clear line across the case and primer. Also, I have night sights on the P16, haven't found any to put on the M&P yet.

I can't speak on the S&W but I can tell you this Springfield with 16 in the mag and one up the pipe is HEAVY. It's gotta be pushing if not heavier than my loaded 1911.
I think I'm going to check into shoulder holsters for woods carry. I'd say it would be hard to keep my pants up,lol, trying to carry it from belt hunting mushrooms or whatever in woods.
Taking her out right now for a factory ammo test. Reloading components supposed to be getting here tomorrow, can't wait.
No doubt. The P16 is the heaviest auto pistol setup I have. I have shoulder holster for cold weather when I need overcoat, but wear on hip with Serpa paddle during warmer weather. I do have to cinch belt up to keep my pants on. Just weighed it. 3 lbs 5.4 ounces just loaded gun. 3 lbs 10 ounces in holster. Didn't realize it was that heavy.

I would suggest you look into Simply Rugged Holsters. You can pick the holster you like and add the Chesty Puller system to wear the rig across your chest. Very easy to carry and easy access if needed. (IMO of course)
