![]() Keep in mind, with the 108-grain MHP bullet, not only is recoil reduced, but so too is the force exerted on the slide while cycling. ![]() That particular pistol has an aluminum frame and is set up with a heavy spring to work with +P ammunition. But, these failures to eject need to be qualified. This handgun failed to eject all 13 rounds fired through it. I’ve seen two identical guns record muzzle velocities of almost 100 fps difference with identical ammunition.Īs far as reliability, there were no issues at all except with the 5-inch Wilson Combat 1911. However, velocity measurement is a fickle beast. This explains why the velocities I obtained were a bit slower than advertised. Norma advertises a muzzle velocity of 1,312 fps, obtained with a 6-inch barrel. ![]() Standard velocity deviations ranged from 5.1 fps to 15.7 fps for an average of 10 fps. With regard to velocity, the Norma MHP was quite consistent. With each handgun I fired 10 rounds to get an idea about velocity consistency, and then fired three shots into a block of Clear Ballistics to get an idea about penetration and expansion. The company sent me four boxes-80 rounds-to test, and I fired it through four different handguns with barrel lengths ranging from 3.1 to 5.0 inches. The cases have black-oxide coating, which does two things: First it gives the loaded cartridge a cool appearance, and second, it slickens the surface to aid reliability.Ĭurrently the only cartridge for which Norma is offering MHP ammo is the 9 mm. ![]() The bullets are plated and have a silver (if not almost chrome) appearance. In the case of the MHP the nose is cavitated by about 1⁄ 16th of an inch, and around the cavitation the nose of the bullet has been skived or pre-stressed. Hollowpoint refers to the configuration of the nose of the bullet. In the case of the MHP, this material is copper. Monolithic means the bullet is made from a single material. For 2019, Norma Ammunition has a new take on the defensive-handgun bullet and it’s called the MHP (Monolithic Hollow Point).įor starters, let’s get the description out of the way. This is because there are so many variables an engineer must balance. When it comes to that science-the science of terminal ballistics-trying to design a better bullet is a lot like juggling cats. We’re always looking for that better mousetrap a load that will increase the likelihood of a one-shot stop. Those who have accepted the responsibility of their own safety and live with a defensive handgun on or near them at all times continue to search for better ammunition options. The Sig Sauer contract is around $77 million they did not specify anywhere as to how many scopes they were to deliver to United States Army and United States Army special forces.Īs for the scope mount material you are probably right, I seem to recall now that you mention it I read about that somewhere.Norma’s new MHP load for the 9 mm offers an easy-shooting, reliable and consistent defensive option for the cartridge. The Sig Sauer tango6T scopes are to cover the M4A1 rifles and the HK417 designated marksman rifles, The Vortex Optics subsidiary, Sheltered Wings, will be building as many as 250,000 of the optics systems over the next ten years, for a starting price of about $2.7 billion-in case you’re wondering, that works out to $10,800 per unit, although that price doesn’t just include the optic but likely a support/repair/maintenance support structure, that is only 250,000 that is just enough to cover The next generation squad weapons Sig Sauer is making for the US Army, so no it’s not the“new”military scope, Well, by the way “buddy” before you go talking to me like you’re some know it all (know it all), cause you sure do not know what you’re talking about, The new Vourtex NGSW-FC (FC in case you’re wondering stands for, Fire Control) are only for the Next Generation Squad Weapons, 6.8 rifle and light machine gun, not the rest of the military guns.
