Glock 20 Gen4.  I pretty much only shoot Underwood & Atlanta Arms Ammo.   Both feed great!

Also, and utterly unrelated, I'll go 'gay for pay' if that Infinity is in the deal....

I've been watchin this a bit to get the lay parts of the discussion...The disparaging and "caliber war" parts, especially....Here is a dispatch from the long ago...

I'm old enough to remember when there was a revolutionary new addition to that greatest killer of them all, the 45ACP... It showed up in the seventies and i shot a bunch of 'em thru various 1911's, and handloaded em by the hundreds (...maybe even to the 1000's...)... It wuz called the "flying ashtray"... An instant "defensive ammo" success... It wuz a 185 grain JHP loaded to about 1000 fps... Heralded as a "game changer; and more likely a "game ender"... And it wuz if ya got hit by one...

.Everybody loved 'em who pined for something "better" than the old "hardball" loads in the ACP... Things were saner in those days, and no one dared call a 185 grain, 1000 fps 45CP load "wimpy" or "short and weak"...

Fast forward until today... Thirty five or so years later, folks call a 40 caliber, 180 grain JHP travelling at 950 FPS "inadequate"... "short and weak", etc... Ya get the picture... My have things have changed...

Think about it...

I found the insights thoroughly enlightening, to be honest.

Track down a S&W 1006. Better design than a 1911 and ten times more classy than a Glock.

yup..back in my Miami days I carried that beast for a while but then I moved to the BrenTen 

Ahhh I miss the 80s

Ditto. Does this make me old? lol

I still like the 185 grain rounds, and have maybe 500 JHP lying around for "special use."

"Aged" Yes...like a fine wine. We get better with age. Right? Well...some do. I'm falling apart faster than a speeding hp round hitting a block of  ballistic gel.
