they claim muzzle velocity of 1050 fps from a glock 23

I was wondering how the recoil would be ?

Never heard of the company, so quite frankly it's hard to know how their quality is, but the specs they are quoting make me suspicious that they might be exceeding SAAMI industry standards for pressure, if they are honest about their velocities.

My personal opinion....let the experiment on someone else, stick with the name brands.

Double Tap is a quality name brand ammo manufacturer. I have tried several of their loads, but not that specific one Killer.

G56, just because you have not heard of them does not mean it's hard to know how their quality is.

DT does not exceed SAAMI pressure standards. They tune every specific load they make with different powder combinations. Many of their high velocity/high energy loads do not even get into the +P pressure levels.

Mike McNett, the owner of DT, started out making custom 10mm loads. They became very popular and slowly started adding other calibers. Now they have a lengthy caliber list. I would not hesitate for a minute to use any of Mike's loads if they had something I wanted.

I hang around a lot of shooting message boards, and I've never heard of them at all, maybe they talk about them on XD or Glock boards since I rarely visit the XD boards, and almost never the Glock boards.

Being a big 10mm fan I have certainly heard of Mr McNett and his Double tap loads. While I have never tried any (I am too cheap) I would be willing to put them through any one of my guns. He has a very good reputation for making some very nice SD loads.

That 200 grain JHP controlled expansion load looks really tempting but with only selling them by the 500 count I think I will just keep stuffing my mags with whatever I have laying around.
