I have long been a fan of the Remington 185 grain +P loads in my 1911 pistols as back in the day (1980’s) it was the only reliably feeding hollow point in 1911’s on the market. Now I find that this load is producing close to 1100 ft./s in my Sig Emperor Scorpion Carry Commander and right at 1000 ft./s in my RIA BBR 3.10 compact. Wow!!!

After hundreds of rounds through mine with both 10 and 14 round Mec-Gar magazines and no malfunctions, I can tell you it absolutely ROCKS these Remington loads. And you can FEEL the power of the +P velocities with still excellent control and with very little muzzle flash …. even out of the ported BBR 3.10 barrel! I carried Federal HST +P 230 grain (EXCELLENT load) on duty as a deputy/detective with KCSO in my issue G21.
