 RCBD AMMO 9mm 60 gr. TFSP 2010 fps / 539 flbs

Half the weight of the Speer Gold Dot 115gr and travelling at Mach 9 - Where is it going to print on the target? 20 inches low at 25 yards? This is a fixed sight weapon.

I just spoke to the factory, they claim their 60gr bullet will drop 1" to 1 1/2" lower than a Speer Gold Dot 115gr bullet at 50 feet, but do 10 times the damage.

I have a feeling this link has been posted before ... but it does have some use simply as an additional source of test info.  Disappointing to see no Gold Dots - plus of course, tests thru P11 and not our R9.  No frangibles either.

Over the weekend I was able to run 25 rounds of the International Cartridge Corporation frangible ammunition through my R9S with no problems.  There were no fail to feeds or fail to ejects.  The performance at 25 yds. was similar to Speer GDHP's.  Just thought you all would like to know.
