I use the standard pressure underwood XTP in my LCP. Based on your test I may switch to the new hydrashock deep once I can source it in sufficient quantities

This is the load that I carried when I last carried my Glock 42. I have faith in it. The recoil is noticeably harder than all other standard loads.
My main concern about such "special" loads is that I could not easily afford to shoot enough to really make sure they run reliably. I think the results from the OP (thank you OP for the excellent tests) were very good. I can live happily with the slightly less penetration. |

Hm. I chronoed this 100fps faster from an LCP Max.

Based on your test I may switch to the new hydrashock deep once I can source it in sufficient quantities I bought 5 boxes of the Hydrashok Deep to feed my new LCP Max. I ran 40 rounds thru it and it fed 100%. They must have cranked out a new production run because its available at $25-30 a box. I found it thru ammoseek. You may want to jump on it since the number of sellers appears to be dropping now. |
