Wilson Combat’s ammunition is top-shelf in every sense of the phrase (except the one that involves a certain type of magazine). OAL is always dead on from round to round, consistency has always been ridiculously good out of every gun I own, and accuracy is as good as a given bullet/barrel combo will allow it to be. But you don’t just waste top-shelf things. And so … Read More →

Speer Gold Dot G2 Ballistic Test
When HP first got our hands on Speer’s then-new Gold Dot G2 in October, we were really excited about it. After all, why would Speer put a newer version of the Gold Dot on the market unless it outperformed the original? Over the next few months I spent a fair amount of time, manpower, and resources testing the new 147 grain G2 9mm, and after almost six … Read More →
First Look: Speer Gold Dot G2 Ammo
*As of 3/21/2015, our ballistic testing results for this round can be found HERE! By now you’ve probably heard that the FBI is switching back to 9mm. There’s a good chance you’ve even heard that they’ve been doing some in-depth testing to find their next duty round. And although largely conjecture (not really), there’s a good chance this could be that round. Although I can’t say … Read More →
Product Review: HK VP9
My first trip to the range with the VP9, I loaded up a magazine with 15 rounds of Federal HST, grabbed a few boxes of Atlanta Arms 147 grain ammo, and hit the range. I then proceeded to pewpew through the magazine of HST as quickly as I could to see how the VP would run wide-cavity JHP rounds out of the box. As I would … Read More →
Product Review: Atlanta Arms 147 grain 9mm FMJ (follow up with chrono)
You might remember the first impressions article about this ammo from back in June of this year, which has more background than this writeup (here). I’ve continued to shoot the AA&A Team Glock/AMU 9mm load that Atlanta Arms sent me for reviews throughout the remainder of the summer (into the fall) and it’s still good to go. The black box (new production) ammo is a great … Read More →
First Impression: Atlanta Arms & Ammo 147 grain FMJ (Team Glock/AMU Load)
A Handgun Planet giveaway is in progress! Click here for more info! After seeing at least a few boxes of this stuff (or the blue box version) at just about every major match I’ve shot in the southeast over the past few years, I finally managed to get my hands on some. First impression? It’s good stuff. Atlanta Arms has been in the business for over … Read More →
Product Review: Asym Precision 9mm Match Ammunition
I had the good fortune to run into Stan Chen at the SHOT Show back in January of this year, and he struck me as someone who cares deeply for both his work and his customers. Not only that, he’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever talk to. And after looking at some of his 1911s and shooting a fair amount of his ammunition, … Read More →
