I've had some bad experiences with Cor-Bon ammo. Their 115 gr. 9mm locked my Kahr K9 up tighter than a bank vault! The brass did not eject and the gun was locked up tight. Ever shoot any of it at night? Much brighter flash than more conventional ammo. Yes, I know, you don't get something for nothing. Some of that extra is a simple case of needing a more powerful cartridge and attempting to substitute for that need with the hyper load. Like Mando, the 158 gr. +P LSWC-HP gets the nod for my .38 Special carry loads. It does what I want a .38 Special to do.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
