This ammo out of my glock 22 40 easily exceeded the 1025 fps velocity by 110 fps. Its spicy and accurate. Approaching 10mm thump. Great ammo for self defense.

In my opinion, the Winchester Ranger T series is the best EDC ammo out there in .40 S&W. It's extremely hard to find as well. I had been searching for it for quite some time and the only place I found it was at Ammo To Go.
