Rounds were fired over an Oehler 35P chronograph at a distance of five feet from the muzzle at 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Velocity is the average of ten shots and accuracy is an average of three five shot shot groups at 100 yards using the ECHO-1.

  • Speer Gold Dot Duty 168gr GDSP—2567fps, 2.1” avg
  • American Eagle 150gr FMJ—2718fps, 3.5” avg
