Need info on Triton Hi-Vel 9mm 135/125gr. +p

[long shot]

Has anyone tested or used these loads?

Ballistics look pretty good.

135gr. +p Hi-Vel 1200fps/432fpe

125gr. +p Hi-Vel 1250fps/434fpe

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...long shot!

I used the 125gr Tritons as a duty load for a while. But after extensive night fire exercises, the muzzle flash lead to the search for a new round. Most of my work is done in low light environments, so this is of great importance to me. After searching the market, I gave Pro-Load 124gr the nod. It has the velocity near that of the Triton, but has virtually no flash. The round performed extremely well at our last qualification resulting in a 240/250. I dropped two rounds, but that is a whole other story. If you go over to GlockTalk and do a search, there are some pictures of expanded Pro-Load 124gr bullets. The Pro-Load uses the same nickel cases, but the bullet is a Speer Gold Dot. The Pro-Load 155gr .40cal is equally impressive. I did hear that Triton switched to a new lower flash powder, but I have already made the switch and am very pleased with it.

With Cor-Bon having quality control issues, the Triton (along with the Golder Saber) would be my choice for a medimum weight 9mm round.
