What grain bullet did the author use in his evaluation? .45s go from 180 grains [ same as a .40] up to 230 grains [known as the "flying ash tray]. Did he use FMJs or hollow points? For a highly technical article, that's an important area to omit.
The 180 grain hollow point is the flying ashtray. Big fat hole in the middle. I have a couple boxes of the +p 180 grain ashtrays down stairs. More than 500 ft lbs, pretty accurate and I've never had a jam with the stuff. The only problem is the colt bites the web of my thumb with the +p stuff.
