I can't really understand the notion that some people have regarding the recoil of 45 ACP. I really feel it is the easiest of medium and large bore handgun cartridges to fire. Something like a "roll" in regards to recoil, and it is spread over a longer period of time, so it just feels right. -stunks |

Testing has revealed that the 230 grain bullet is more effective than other grains. Official testing that is. Federal B of I.

Others may not have the same experiance. A good hit with a 185gr will beat a miss with a 230gr any day. Basically what I am saying is use what works best for you and your gun. Good Shooting, LDC |

From FBI tests through heavy cloth, all from 5 inch bbls:
230 GS 16.6/.69 230 GS 18.9/.73 (different lot) 185 GS 16/.68 185 GD 14.75/.68 200+P GD 18.8/.55 230 GD 18.9/.59 230 GD 14.3/.70 (different lot) Saw another test where the 185 GD at 950 fps through cloth did 14/.70... that's the same velocity ya get from the XDACP (does about 1050 from a 5 inch bbl). It's a .45; you will be OK.
