   It's one of the weak points to most YouTube videos. They rarely do a pistol test the way some of us would! Run it with the weakest to strongest ammo, lightest to heaviest, biggest Meplat, steel cased, etc... then put some real numbers to brass distance, accuracy, etc...

10mm and weakest just don't seem to go together :)

True. In .22LR I found some ammos that wouldn't cycle the slide. Good for a revolver though!

Ok, so Henning emailed me today, they are shipping the gun to my dealer today and it will be there on Monday. Just when I am starting 2 weeks off of work! I should have a chance to do some shooting, I need to load some 200 grain XTP's up over the weekend, I have a ton of 180's with 8.8 grains of Power Pistol. I'm planning to work up a nice load with the 200's and Major Pistol. Fun times! I really need to get a chrono, I guess I should take a look at Amazon and Midway tonight.

Outstanding!

      Do you have any good factory ammo like Underwood, Buffalo Bore, Doubletap? Can you do some pre/post brass measurements with pictures? Also maybe a video or some measurements on brass distance? Thanks a bunch.

PCFlorida

The only factory ammo that I have is the Sig JHP, other than that I have thousands of reloads, all in Starline. Mostly 180's, mostly 8.8 of PP. I'm thinking of picking up an inexpensive chrono for now over the weekend. Movies are certainly possible, we do have decent phones if nothing else.

Ok, I pick up the GP 40 on Monday, and my Amazon Ballistic Precision Chrono comes on Monday also.

That sounds interesting! Throw some pictures up of it too when you can.

PCFlorida

I will definitely do that. I'm really interested to see how far it throws the brass too.

Looking forward to your reporting back to us too.

And a few weeks ago I thought I might have a boring vacation :)

Interesting news, let see how long they can keep a stream of them coming in. If they actually submitted the paperwork like they said they did all that time ago, we only have about 6 months to wait before the 5" should be cleared for import.

I can't shake a feeling they just stockpiled some mags to be able to make a reasonable sized shipment. Kinda concerned they might be in the same problematic circumstance in just a few days to weeks.

Those that get them, let us know how they shoot! ;D

Ok, so I just got home with the GP 40 and my Amazon delivery of a chronograph was waiting in the driveway. So here is a photograph of the GP 40 in the box, I need to strip it and clean it before I can shoot it. Very similar in size to a G20, weighs just a bit less. G20 1.718 and the GP 40 is 1.706, so not much difference. I just noticed the color in this picture is way off, I'll take some as I strip and clean it.

In case you want to order replacement sights be aware that these are MK12 firearms, not MK7. I ordered a tritium front sight for mine and it didn't fit.

Looks good! This should be the Decocker version. Video of the decocker in action if you can.
