    .40 s&w

    When I owned a Glock Mdl. 23 in this caliber I liked the 165gr JHP bullet. I remember that I used Blue Dot powder for reloading this bullet and it was accurate and gave a high FPS velocity. 180gr is usally standard for this caliber, I liked the lighter 165gr because the faster velocity would expand the JHP better. Just my 2cents.
