Chronograph Results - 5 Ammo Types with All 6 Sizes of 9mm Glock

[El Cid]

This started because a friend asked me to chronograph a couple loads from my new Glock 43. Since I have all 6 sizes of 9mm Glock, I figured it would be worthwhile to run the same ammunition through all of them. Weather was sunny and 75 degrees. The chronograph is a Prochrono Digital.

Here are the results.

Not really. The Winchester Ranger is my current duty ammo. The Black Hills I keep in personal guns that aren't used on duty. I was sold on the Barnes X bullets after using them in a Pannone vehicle class. They had minimal deflection through the windshield and I got all my hits. The targets were at the front bumper and many folks missed completely.

It was also good to see they are above 1000fps even from the G43.

AWESOME info & greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
