I helped a good friend's son with his new Christmas Glock pistol back in late January. Shot up a few rounds of my ammo, and some of his. A cold drizzle ran us off the range after about 45 minutes, so we really didn't shoot that much.

Anyhow, about a month ago I got a package from my friend. Some documents, and four 25 rd boxes of ammo. I put it on a shelf after just glancing at it. Took a box down today, looked closer, and Wow! 1650 FPS!? 65 grains?

I haven't heard of this ammo before, but I'm not really up to snuff on ammo innovations from the last decade or so.

Anyone familiar with it? What's the verdict? Specifically for use in my 3913?

Edit: did what I should have done before I posted, and searched. All the results were 3-4-5 years old, so maybe someone has something more recent to add. Thanks.

I've used it in a few .380s and found it to be more accurate than I would have expected and every bit as fast as promised. (Mine might have been one of the old posts you found.) I have no personal information about how well it works in meat targets; I'm generally leery of whiz-bang miracle ammo, after having been snookered by a claims of one big maker in the Eighties.
 
Found a few sites on the net about this bullet.

One site did a bang up test with three powders from a starting load
up to a full +P loading data per the company that makes the ammo.

The loads were shot from a G19 and one site showed a lady shooting a
metal target at 6-8" and not getting any splatter, with the non-lead bullets.

HP38 at 5.6 grs gave 1574fps but Auto Comp at 7.1 grs for its top +P load data
put out 1644fps.

All test were on metal......... no gel test
so data on how they work for SD use is still unknown.
