BPLE 9mm was a virtual death ray. The BP only went to the .40 as a managerial decision which was stupid (as are most Federal decisions). Many almost cried as they loved the BPLE round so much."

"A former Captain of the IL State Police has written on many websites that during his tenure there they started using first the Fed. BPLE & later the Win. 9mm 115 gr. +p+ and that he NEVER saw a case where if failed to stop someone with a COM hit in hundreds of shootings. Now why do you think that was? The cops in IL are better shooters?"

Very interesting. I have a few 9mm +p+ rounds for a not formentioned carbine. Have not measered it yet but my guess its close to 1900 fps based on the 16" barrel.

Dave I know its not what you like, but what are your comments on this.
