About 65 degrees out. About 5ft from Chonry. 5-shots each.
S&W Shield .45 2.0 3.3 inch barrel.
S&B 230 gr FMJ.
H. 658 fps
L. 627 fps
Extreme spread 31 fps
Average 646 fps
Soft shooting load as you could imagine. If you want to carry FMJ but don't want 25 inches of test-gel penetration here ya go. This would probably do about 18-20 inches. Great practice ammo.
Here is the same ammo from a S&W Full-size 4.6 inch 2.0 pistol:
H. 752
L. 709
ES. 43
Avg. 727
Now for some Winchester Ranger T 230 gr JHP.
From the Shield:
H. 818
L. 770
ES. 48
Avg. 797
Will the Ranger T expand under 800 fps? At 770 fps? I have my doubts. I don't think I'll use these in a 3.3 inch Shield. Probably won't expand. And if they expand big, probably won't penetrate much.
Here is the Ranger T from the 4.6 inch Full size S&W:
H. 880
L. 821
ES. 59
Avg. 857
Georgia Arms 185 gr Gold Dot +p JHP from the Shield:
H. 985
L. 942
ES. 43
Avg. 963
Same blast, a little less "push" than the 230 gr Ranger T. I like this ammo. Seems to shoot to the same point of aim too, oddly.
From the Full-Size 4.6 inch:
H. 1084
L. 1050

Too fast for this bullet? I don't know.
Now for the last of my Federal Personal Defense Hydrashok 165 gr JHP:
From the Shield:
H. 872
L. 865
ES. 7
Avg. 869
Definitely low recoil.
From the Full-Size 4.6:
H. 1005
L. 958
ES. 47
Avg. 986
Underwood .45 +p 230 gr FMJ
