My G19 does NOT like any +P load at all. My G17 LOVES them..unreal groups at 10-15 yards and hitting small steel pop-up out to 50 easily.
As for the +P .45ACP...IM DONE with them. VERY hard on my hands & gun also. Thought I shot em all up, but found a lot more in safe today. NOT gonna use them. Standard pressure in .45ACP from here on out.
Also- loving MEN & Magtech ammo more & more. FYI- Magtech owns MEN from what I gather. Anyway..cleanest looking ammo you ever saw. The 9mm 124gr is accurate as heck out of my G17..even my G19 shoots them well.
The 5.56 loads are great..but Ill hold off on accuracy reports until I fix a problem with my rifle.
Shot many hundred rounds thru the seven hours I was there-sticking with Gold Dots and HST for carry loads..+P's in the G17, standard pressure in the G19.
Chrono'ed many more range loads..nothing that aint been reported already, on those.
Accuracy winner of the day: MEN 9B 124gr FMJ.
Hope someone can use this info.
