Subsonic
The speed of sound is around 1,125 fps. This Czech-made round’s muzzle velocity? An assuredly subsonic 1,001 fps – and that’s out of a 6” test barrel, mind you. If your barrel’s shorter, then you can expect even lower velocity (and gentler recoil to boot).
This cartridge is weaker than a standard 147gr 1,000 fps load. Its power factor is 140.1, as opposed to 147.0. That’s admittedly not a night-and-day difference, but weaker is weaker all the same.
It’s not so weak as to deprive a pistol of semi-automatic functionality, however. A power factor of 140.1 is still well above multiple shooting organizations’ minor requirements.
The bullet, aside from being heavy and slow, is a full metal jacket: flat nose profile, with a lead core and CuZn30 jacket that cannot attract a magnet (0.240 G1 BC). It’s seated in a factory-fresh reloadable brass case, with a large pistol primer (noncorrosive) to tend to ignition.
