Took my Colt and some Win3Gun .45 out to the range this weekend and blasted away. It burned clean, had a little less felt recoil than a standard 230 grain ball load, and seemed to be all-around good stuff. One caveat: it is small-primer brass, so if you're a reloader, you may prefer other alternatives for compatibility with your existing brass stockpiles, but for a projected MSRP of about $25, this is very affordable .45 match ammo, and we had good results with zero malfunctions of any kind.

How was the accuracy in your pistol vs standard FMJ?

Depends on the FMJ, but it was at least as good as American Eagle or White Box through my Colt. I only shot out to 15 yards this weekend, but was getting 2-4" in the head box of an IDPA target pretty easily at that range running some drills. I didn't do any slow-fire accuracy testing of it since it's marketed more towards dynamic shooting, but it certainly wouldn't have been worse than 2" at 15 yards if I had slowed down.

Comparatively, Win3Gun seemed to be shooting a little tighter than the FMJ I had on hand, which was Federal AE 230 grain this trip, for what it's worth. When I get my hands on some of the 9mm in the next couple of months, I'll do some accuracy testing as well. I honestly didn't think about it that much. The gun also had the factory Colt barrel in it, so this isn't a bullseye gun by any stretch. Hope that helps.
