As far as ammo goes I am not a fan of Cor-bon products. I have attended and been part of testing of some of their ammo about 3 years back, this was conducted and overseen by analysts from the state police crime lab. None of it performed the way they say it will. I only carry a couple different brands of ammunition.

I would stick with either Speer Gold Dot or Winchester SXT Ranger if you can get your hands on it. Gold dot should be readily available. Both are bonded bullets and have great weight retention and both fully expand in a consistent manner.

Now if you want my personal recommendation on where to get ammo, check out this place. He's out in Utah, I have no connection to him other than I buy ammo from him because he is one of the few places in the country that produces a full power load for a 10mm auto, my preferred weapon to carry.

Doubletapammo Shop

Then look at the 200 grain gold dot. Note the velocity and ft./lbs of his ammo. Ballistics : 1125fps - 562 ft./lbs. - 5" 1911 Keep in mind that is a 5" 1911 test gun
The Cor-bon is 1075fps -475 ft./lbs and they are lighter but we don't know the test gun.
I will also add that I have chronographed plenty of his ammunition and it has always been consistent.

osCommerce

Next compare price, Cor-bon from midway $39.99 for 20 rounds Vs Doubletap $33.95 for 50 rounds.

Either way, good luck and enjoy that 36, they are nice carry guns!
Nope, not gonna hunt the bear , Lots of good info, just the kinda info I was looking for Thanks
