Testing Hornady Critical Duty in the PM40

Wrapped up my test/review of Critical Duty over the weekend. I worked a PM40 into the test just for you guys. :D

Totally clueless how to use the YouTube tags on a new post. Couldn't get them to work so if someone could clue me in, I'd appreciate it.

Take the actual video identifier of your youtube vid (bolded part):
http://youtu.be/Wrrq-vIcIHU

paste into the message window:

vIcIHU

Highlight that code:vIcIHU
(color added to simulate highlighting)
Click the Youtube icon
vIcIHU
Poof, you're done

Thanks for the test and write up

Quoting from you

The thing that really impressed me about this loading was the consistency of velocities with both pistols. Even though the PM40 has a shorter barrel, the velocity average was the same from both test strings. Having both terminal test shots within 1 fps was really pretty amazing. We didn't get the 1025 fps velocity published on the box, but with barrel lengths of less than 3.5" I wasn't expecting it. I was actually please to see we were only 65 fps shy of the published velocity. I thought we would lose more than that.
Reason why I like the .40S&W platform as it does well from short barrels.

Actually, Tinman, you use "Wrrq-vIcIHU" (the entire text string after the '=' sign and before any '&' or '/' mark), select it, then hit the YouTube button. Like this:
Wrrq-vIcIHU

Ooops, my bad. You're right. Did it too fast and didn't check it.
Thanks for the good catch.
