It's not that bad actually; about on par with Federals. If I have a choice I prefer WWB but I've shot a lot of Monarch in my PM9. I also shoot it in my Beretta 92FS and my HK P2000 with good (read: acceptable) results. I've had at least one round that seemed like it only had half the power. When it went off it was funny watching the action on my Beretta operating almost in slow motion. This round probably would have resulted in a FTE condition in my PM9 but it worked okay in the Beretta.

Sometimes you just can't get anything else...

I have read many complaints about its low power not cycling some brands of guns. I avoid it.
