    I wonder when we will see specific ammunition for the new sub-guns.

    Sigh. Winchester currently has some of the shittiest quality control around. More great news for the Joes actually carrying pistols.

    Why didn't they just order a metric butt-load of Federal 147-grain hST and call it good? But I guess no one would have made Colonel that way.

    The contract for the pistol required an ammo contract. That’s what Sig selected.

    The new hollow point ammo shoots and functions the M17 and M18 better than the new and old ball.

    I am really, really glad to hear that. Winchester ammo has really worried me of late. If they have a good handle on QC for these loads, that's great news for the folks using it.

    I guess we will see plenty of xm1152 and xm1153 soon then.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    The new military 9mm Winchester ammunition will be made to milspec quality standards and not to stock holder standards.

    Having said that I bought 500 once fired military Winchester 9mm cases and thought the brass was of good quality.

    "M1152 with the 115-gr. bullet was at 1326 f.p.s."

    That's +P+ velocity, e.g. Federal 9BPLE or the Winchester or Remington equivalent. Zowie!

    I wonder if M882 / Q4318 is going away? Hope not. That's what I run in my "kinetic platforms."

    And it is indeed true that once fired Q4318 brass is good stuff. I've reloaded it. I don't bother with it any longer, because you have to swage out the primer pocket crimp.

    I am highly skeptical that anyone could get that velocity with M1152 from a standard pistol length barrel (even though the article says it was from a 4.7 inch barrel).
