      That ship has sailed. I didn't include it because everyone thinks PPSh-41 7.62x25 is normal pistol ammo.

        It's a necked down 10mm case with a 9mm in it, when you add a neck you increase velocity substantially.

        Sounds great until you realize it has a history of damaging your hearing even with hearing protection in.

        • As you can see .50GI is crap, what a useless cartridge. .460 Rowland is a beast though. I just wish they could get it to work without a damn compensator, I hate compensators.

          • My .22LR data is wrong, 975fps is way too low.

              It's still an awesome round hearing loss and all. I think a 6" longslide 1911 chambered in 9x25 would be badass and hell on pigs.

              • I've always disagreed with the stereotype of 9mm luger being weak compared to the other common cartridges. This was reassuring. Thanks CJ!

                  And that's not +p ammo which puts it around 500ftlbs (doubletap and maybe some other loads) with the .40SW.

                    Right, but a .40S&W +P will separate from 9mm just the same.

                      Didn't even know there was such a thing.

                        Yep,



                        580ft/lbs.

                        That's why I refrained from using any +P, because it just makes shit more complicated.

                        • What is ammo like for .38 Super? I've always wanted to try firing one of those, but I'm not sure who even make one chambered for it.

                            It's pretty common in 1911's. Witnesses also can be chambered in it.

                            • Taurus actually makes a .38 Super 1911. It was about $550 last time I looked, 2-3 years ago.

                                Discontinued. That's the first manufacturer I checked.

                                Time to check various sites.
