View Full Version : Chronograph Results - 5 Ammo Types with All 6 Sizes of 9mm Glock
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.

Very interesting. Did these results impact your ccw choice?

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.
