So it's wall thickness? Hmm. I repeat if someone wants an expended case to check out say so, I have some left. If you are in Southern AZ and want to meet me in the CG area I can give you a few rounds to test.
Seismic says that they use a slow burning powder (proprietary) which produces a slower recoil impulse more like a standard 115 gr. pill, to power the round.
I haven't read all the comments yet. But I agree, velocity is important here, as well.
Pushing a 185 gr. 9mm at 1,200 fps (typical velocities for, say, 115 gr. ammunition) would be a whole new world of experience from a 9mm pistol.
Especially the smaller ones.
They're claiming 950 fps with the 185 gr. 9mm pill.
Yeah, but .40 is SO expensive compared to 9mm, like $2 more a box and it has SO much more recoil than 9mm, like about the same this 185 grain 9mm ammo has.Yeah, that's part of what makes me giggle about this. "Congratulations, you've invented the .40 S&W... except very expensive. Good job guys. Truly revolutionary."
Yeah, but .40 is SO expensive compared to 9mm, like $2 more a box and it has SO much more recoil than 9mm, like about the same this 185 grain 9mm ammo has.
And .40 is dying and won't be around much longer, nor will the pistols be because .40 is SO high pressure it destroys the guns prematurely so even if ammo was available, the guns would be unsafe to shoot anyway.
Thus, the only options we'll have to shoot 180 grain ammo in conceal carry pistols that won't cost a fortune (cuz .45 isn't cheap either) to practice with will be 9mm.
