For their hot 115gr load Buffalo Bore claims 1,400fps and 500ft lbs ME....

Prob’ly significant that the shortest barrel they published results on was on a 4” Glock 19.



Twenty years back, the big three all had +P+ loads that were LEO only that hit 1350 fps. IIRC, the one Sarge quoted used to be about 1250 fps and was the best you could do in a conventional non-LEO only loading. It may have been upgraded with better powders.

Edited to say, I believe the non-LEO Federal was a 9BP. It was a standard pressure loading and not +P or +P+.
