Brought this gun last year (G22) and also Storm Lake 9mm and 40S&W Barrells. It shoots very well with the 9mm, Lee TC120 and 4.5gr WSF. Gets over the 125 PF br a small amount and runs around 1080fps. It also is fairly accurate. The only bad part is it puts me in Limited class.
So I am trying the 40S&W barrell with reduce loads as production class only needs a 125 PF, with the Lee 175TC that is about 720 FPS. So my goal is about 750fps with the 175gr(172).
Has anyone had good luck with reduced 40S&W loads? So far I tried 3.7WST with good accuracy, reliable feeding and recoils like a 9mm
3.4 of WST had some failure to cycle and was very soft recoil, lower than the 9mm load
4.5WSF in the 40SW was also decent accuracy, just stronger than I want.
I don't have a leading issue with this barrel at all. Shot 150 rnds testing and it was very clean, just lube residue, no leading.
