Sig Sauer V crown hollow point for CW 45

[martkin64]

I just tried out a new hollow point from Sig Sauer in my CW 45. I only fired 20 rnds but they all cycled flawlessly. I was using 165 grn Hydra Shock and they work just fine. But I was able to pick up a box of Sig Sauer V crown 200 grn for 5 dollars less then the hydra shocks. I am going to put another 20 more rnds of them through next week. If everything goes well I think they are going to be my primary self defense round.
I reviewed them on line and they seem to be a pretty good product. I will let you guys know next week how it goes.

Until there have been documented results in autopsies I won't personally use them or anything w/o a proven track record. They may turn out to be okay but I don't want to risk it to be a beta tester.

It's a 45. You can shoot rubber bullets out of it and it's gonna ruin your day. Long as they cycle and function perfectly I'm good.

I never heard of Sig Sauer ammo before so I'm totally under my mushroom on that count.

I had problems with the Hornady critical defense. Problems manually unloading.....The Sig Sauer rnd has only bean around for a few months. It feeds real good. Sig does tend to put out a good product.

I don't feel undergunned with hardball in my PM45's.

I seriously doubt SIG itself is making it they are putting their name on anothers product. I would be curious who is the actual manufacturer. Rubber bullets probably won't permanently ruin anybodies day they will just make it a might bit painful is all.

There is very little info on the web about this fairly new round, but I did find this... http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2014/04/11/sig-sauer-elite-performance-ammunition/ It seems that Sig is for the first time manufacturing ammunition, not just assisting in research. I went out today and fired another forty rnds of the 200 grn V crown ammo. It shoots really nice out of the CW 45. .... from the few reviews I did find online appears to be a decent hollow point. I got a few phone books together and I am going to shoot some more this weekend. I will see what the penetration is like in the books.

I have full confidence in this ammo just as I have full confidence in both my Sigs.

I'm glad somebody had somthing good to say about the ammo. I was using hydra shoc for a long while, it is good ammo but I like to shoot often and it was getting a little pricey. When I found the sig ammo it was a bit cheaper and it shoots great! I am going to do the phone book test this weekend and check out the penatration of it.

I've got a couple of boxes of SIG 90 Gr .380 ammo for my SIG P238...Haven't tried them yet, but will very soon...

Still doubting. Will stick with known and proven performers from Hornady/Remington/Federal. Frankly unless a phaser comes out Critical Duty/Defense is my load of choice for every handgun caliber. Success begets more success.

Took my Sig SP2022 to the range today along with a few other of my handguns. It was perfect using the Sig Sauer 124gr. I'm sold on it.

[martkin64]

I took my CW 45 out again and shot 20 more 200 grn sig v crown. Again it shot without issue. I took it out in the hills by my house and decided not to take any phone books. ( didn't want to make a mess.) But I like the cartridge! I have read quite a bit online about it and it seems to be ok. I am most likely going to use it as a self defense rnd.
