a 7.5 inch NON-VENTED pressure barrel will always give higher velocity than a 7.5 inch revolver barrel. i also doubt that the load will actually make 1900fps in anything but a 10 inch contender...or longer. buy some of it and chrono it.

at the USPSA handgun nationals there was a guy in our squad who was shooting a 5inch XD 9mm. there was also a guy shooting a glock 34. the XD gunner was shooting winchester factory ammo, the glock guy was shooting his handloads. the glock never missed a beat in the 500 round match. the XD...
