What are your thoughts about using Corbon's 45 ACP+P 165 gr JHP 1250fps/573 ft/lbs out of my Glock-21. Is the gun able to hold up to the pressure? I like the energy.

Good one...oneslowgun said:I don't think I have run more then 20 rnds of Cor-bon 165gr through my G21, but I have been using 200gr Cor-bon's, and when I can find it 230gr Cor-bons for about the last 5-6 yrs. Of course, that isn't the only ammo I shoot, (just to "use up" older HD ammo, and to practice a mag or two at range sessions). I have had no problems, and have not noticed any damage/ peening of the slide or rails.
45 AUTO+P 165 GR. JHP 1250 FPS/573 FTLBS compaired to:
45 AUTO+P 200 GR. JHP 1050 FPS/490 FTLBS or :
45 AUTO+P 230 GR. JHP 950 FPS/461 FTLBS,
" Does Cor-Bon ammunition meet established pressure limits?
A. Every production lot is continuously monitored and checked every half hour during its production. Cor-Bon follows established SAAMI specifications. Loads not within SAAMI specifications are marked as such."
165gr is a bit of a jump, but I don't think any of these rounds would be a problem, except if they were the ONLY rounds you used, and you fired 200-300 a week.
Please note, I am neither a firearms expert, or a ballistic expert, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
