P229 here, what do you need for your P226?

ZeeingAround · 03-03-2021, 02:41 PM

Need? LOL. All want. I have lots of 9mm. This looks to be one of the best made for the money. I want to verify this in my hands. I want to test and compare with my Glock. I like the longer 4.4" barrel on this version.

Okay. I got my P229 in 40, then bought the 357 SIG barrel for it. I like the P226, I may still grab one, if I can find one reasonable.

I want it in 9mm . And definitely a newer mark 25. I could only find 1 at the gun show last weekend. It was at least 30 years old and not the one I wanted. Same with a Benelli M4, I could not find even one of those. Lots of over priced ammo. I did get some 8mm from 1953 for a reasonable price. And had a chance to finally shoot the WWI mauser.

This was only 1600 fps but in the comments section they say it's been fired at 3000 fps

According to what I've read, it's built off of a 20mm Vulcan round, but I thought the Vulcan fired a 30mm round. Either way... holy chit....

It weighs 1,690 gr. Speed is over 3,300 fps. Energy over 42,000 ft lbs. Stays sonic out to 5,400 yards. Bet it's fired from a fixed mount. Ain't no should holding up to that.

Wonder what it costs to reload?

I just looked for Monolithic Munitions. They apparently are no longer in the ammo business. They shut down their ammo manufacturing at the end of 2016.
