    Why 135? Is the FBI also using Critical Duty and this new Hydra Shok will be a ballistic match? Will we be seeing 135gr Gold Dots and Ranger next?

    My preference will continue to be HST 147gr +P. For me at least it's the best possible combination. YMMV.
    Stock up on it when you find it, because they aren't making much of it. Federal told me last year it was discontinued. Still on their price list, but that doesn't mean they will make a lot of it.

    Sounds like they're just giving new life to old bones taking an aged design and making a few mods to keep up with all the new options hitting the market.

    Looks like a completely new design to me.

    They discontinued the +P or HST in general?

    147 +p. Still shows on their distributor price lists, but just are not making it. HST is still going to be the best duty round they offer, still in 124gr, 124 +p, and 147.I have tried to order 147 +p several times in the last 6 mo or so and been told each time it is out of production. Who knows though, they could change their minds again tomorrow and run a bunch of it.
