Me and my Glock 22 tried the Win. Silvertip JHP. It was very punchy (as this .40 is anyway), and wondered if anyone of you have tried it, liked it, use it, or hate it?
You thoughts........
 
MY THOUGHTS.......

Is it RELIABLE and ACCURATE from YOUR gun? Does it instill confidence?

If so, continue usage.
If not, try something else (R-P 155g JHP, XYZ 135g JHP, etc...) until the above-stated conditions are met.
 
I'm still workin' on that...
Just wondering if anyone else has used it, or is using it.
It's expensive, but it seems to do well.
I'm using the 9mm 115 Silverpoint with my Taurus, and it does VERY nicely.
One thing I can say, that this stuff seems to shoot cleanly, in comparison to shooting the cheap stuff for practice... I don't like the lead buildup after shooting 100 rnds. But I guess that's normal.
 
I used to use the 155 Silvertips in all my .40's (Glock 23, Kahr K40, Browning HP and Sig 239) until I had an underpowered round in my HP go downrange. I noticed the recoil and report both sounded weak. The slide had not cycled enough to eject the case but the bullet had cleared the barrel and hit the target reasonably close to the others I had fired. I tried hard to forget about this one round as the Silvertip, though expensive, shows up pretty well in the rankings for .40's. I couldn't and moved on to other rounds. I thought about contacting Winchester but didn't. Maybe I got the one bad round ever made. It was definitely a confidence inspiring round for me until that one incident.
 
I have used the 155s in my G 23 and G 27 and 175 gr in my G20 and G29 and have never had any problem with any over the past 3-4 years. I suppose ther could eventually be a dud in any ammo but I haven't run into any in the Winchester Silvertips.:)
