Has anyone run CD 38 +p through a chrono from a 2" snubbie. Wondering what the variation from the advertised numbers are.

Critical Defense velocity

Yep....I'm wondering if it cracks the 1000 fps mark

It would vary to some degree from gun to gun, but it should be 925 or better. I chrono'ed the load from a 4" M-64 and got noticeably MORE than the advertised velocity! That was a first for me.
 
Sorry I haven't tried it, but I would also be curious to know. I have been so ecstatic with the results and testing of the Buffalo Bore line-up, I have no personal experience with the Hornady CD round.

yeah I have some BB as well but the recoil hampers a fast and accurate follow up shot. Even the standard pressure is more than +p Hornady and Speer, which I still don't understand. I took all 3 brands and ran it through my Departments stress pistol course. The only ammo I could consistently reload without issue after losing most of my fine motor skills was the Critical Defense with the pointed nose. The BB with that wide chunk of lead was impossible to do quickly while shaking , dizzy and out of breath...haha. That also is a factor for my off duty carry ammo. Also did some penetration testing and the BB had on average of an extra 2 inches. Wasn't a blow out by no means.
