It seems like a good round, I am wondering if you can easily see the casing through the M&Ps "witness hole" due to the black color.

I don't know about other calibers, but I have bought 45ACP TAP ammo in the 200 grain and 230 grain bullet loads. The 200 grain ammo had brass, the 230 was black. Go figure...

Bump



Anyone know if you can see the black TAP-FPD round through the witness hole?

I just chambered one to see.

It is difficult to see the case through the witness hole.

I would not recommend using the witness hole for the purpose of checking the load status, no matter what ammo you are using.

Yes that does make sense, thanks for checking

Treat all firearms like they are loaded all the time, if you must check, the procedure is called a press check where the slide is partially retracted so you can see, and if in the dark, feel the round in the chamber.
