2 fold G23 question...

[DaBurna]

I recently bought a G23 and am currently carrying Homeland Defender 180 gr .40cal rounds. They have a HUGE hollow point face. The dealer I bought them from said they are a Federal Hydra-Shok "new type round" under a new marketing move... anyone have any experience with this round? Its purportedly supposed to be around 1080 fps, which I thought is pretty stout considering the weight of the bullet!

My next question is about the .357sig.... I have been researching it and some peeps have been saying that your accuracy from a simple barrel swap on a G23 makes the gun print off b/c the sight picture on a G23 & G32 are slightly different. My G23 has Tru-Glo TFOs on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

to answer your first question, the round you're describing is most likely the federal HST. it is not a "hydra shok", but rather a new design with some of the latest technology. it's what i carry in my glock 23, and i feel it's one of the best self-defense rounds currently available

ANy POI shift caused by caliber change will be slight at 15 yards or less, and not a concern unless you are planning routine shots to the nose or eye-socket at 25 meters or more...

IF desired, a higher, or lower front sight can be installed within 5 minutes...

I have the TFO`s on my 23 too along with the .357 sig drop-in every now and then. I have not seen any diff. in POI. When the 23 is my CCW I only use the .40 barrel with Hornaday 155gr. TAP.

Thanks guys.. I just got some Hornady TAP FPD 155gr. I think I like it pretty well... anyone with experience with the 180gr. version?
