alman 63. Was having a bit of fun, but not at your expense.At least that was not the intention. Sorry if it came off that way. After the bad mouthing Taurus gets from other brand forums, like a 200 lb. pigeon, it was just sitting there and too good to miss. We've taken a lot of "bad press" from Kimber,Glock, and Colt owners or forums in the past. Other members here would have gotten this as a joke. Not on you. Just at the gun name and "past experience" owners of Taurus had had.
Have defended anyone's right to chose whatever brand, make, and model gun they so chose. Still do. Hard to find a company that puts out bad anything.There are a few exceptions, but Glock and the rest are not it.
And best of all, your reasoning is sound on this whole matter.
Glad to have your feedback.
The 102gr. Remington load is excellent.
There is a law of diminishing returns though.
Not for this bullet weight, but for heavier ones there may be.
Example. In the somewhat comparative 9x18 calliber 115 gr.JHPs are or were available.
These did expand though were of Russian manufacuter. Not dynamic expansion, but they did do this. This was enough for many gun writers and gun instructors to give this bullet weight and ammo a nod for serious consideration as self defense round. Foot pounds of energy equaled or surpassed even some .38 Special loads.
Then the P64-PA63 gun crowd picked up on this and guns using this bullet weight and load for defense started coming apart. They are not made to take this kind of ammo, the pressure, or that bullet weight. Even with heavier recoil springs installed. Makarovs could get away with this, but not the smaller 9x18 pistols. Silver Bear stopped making that heavy a bullet for the 9x19 as had stuck to 94gr. or slightly heavier bullets ever since.
112gr. bullets for the .380ACP, if and when they come out, might take some experimenting and caution on the part of .380ACp pistol owners.
You are defintely right about Miami summers. Around here in the Dairy State guyaberra and Hawian shirts ought to be the norm during summer. ;D And this is 1000 miles or so due north of where you are.
