Glad someone else saw the same thing. Fine looking brass after firing it but on-line is about the only option.

I actually used PPU today to qualify for off duty.One of 2 that im allowed.The Witness Match ate it up.The Compact,so so.I choose the Compact,had to tap,rack,bang 3 times.Glock 20,UnderWoods 165 Golden Saber performed 100%.Reason i chose the Compact was the course changed in terms of timeing and i carry my 10s in shoulder rigs.The Match would of worked more so in a hip holster(Blade Tech) but i had to deal with what i had.Off duty carry requirements are not as liberal.They document what your useing and that's what is expected what you will carry.As it stands,the double action in a shoulder rig in terms of timeing works alot better,obviuously.The PPU is dirty,but hey,thats why we clean are guns.Maybe if we touch base with PPU and express that for a couple dollars more they can produce a 10mm round that fits the bill.

  You mean better bullet or loading? How did they feel to you? I actually did e-mail them about two weeks ago with my results and asked about upping it even more. No response! I'm waiting on Mr.Redbull's results out of his Glock to see what is going on. The old numbers were about a 900 FPS even and what I got exceeded that a good bit.

       Maybe my Chrony is crazy  :P but I also control test it with known .22LR rounds and then I retest many at a later date. Beats me.

I would say loading first.The Match ate it up.Problem i observed again,the Compact Mag's suck.The Red followers on the Compact are horrible IMO.Hunch is if they made a Mag like the Mec Gar K10's this would be a moot issue.Again IMHO.Those Compact Mags are double stack and the feed lips suck.The mags need a stronger spring but more so better feed lips like the new K10's.Back to your question,yes the load needs more juice.Heck i get more out of BVAC loads.

The HP on the PPU flat out sucks too which limits it to a paper punching round.


It's funny how many Companies I e-mail or send stuff too and get no response. You know who I get good responses from? The little guys!

I have been having this experience too, and not just general questions.  I have money in my pocket to buy a new recoil spring plug for my CCO build.  I email and request a quote and get no response.  They don't have to be cheap.  Not like I am saying they have to do it for the same price as a catalog item.

Briley is the only mfg to respond to date.
