Corbon DPX 115gr +P barnes bullet.....16"
Critical Duty 135+P performed best out of the G17 full size

HPs in general are pretty velocity dependent, but it looks like the Critical Duty design REALLY doesn't like barrels shorter than dutysized guns.

IIRC, JW777 mentioned in another thread that at least one PD who issued the CD rounds was pretty surprised that they didnt open at all in wounded deer.

Click this link and download the PDF. Fwiw I carry both 124+p hst and 124+p critical duty interchangeably. Download pdf and read up
