I've read and heard that generally Underwood ammo does meet or exceed the spec's from the manufacturer. It also costs alot less per round and uses Gold Dot bullets with quality cases/primers. Also they go where SAAMI Specs trail off.
Basically Gold Dots that are HOT HOT HOT ! ! !
In handguns, are the Underwood 9MM +P+ loads controllable (excessive recoil) for those shooters that can't handle 44mag/10MM/45ACP? How about Muzzle flash/temp blindness?
Same question as above but with the Underwood 40 S&W loads.
Yea, I'm thinking he just needs range time. He gave the .45acp as an example in the group of uncontrollable cartridges. If he has trouble controlling that, platform aside, he is going to have to get more trigger time.

The 9mm 115 +p+ I noticed a little bit more flip but not much from factory FMJ plinking ammo. So you can tell you are shooting +p+ but the difference isn't much.
I run their 124+P+'s in my 9's, it is definetly hotter than any other load that I've ever fired in a 9mm. Recoil is still controllable and very little flash that I've seen. Ordering a few boxes of their 45 +p 230's for my new HK on monday as well.
G23 Gen 4, 9mm (115 gr) and 40 S&W (180gr) which is used for target shooting. I'm looking at keeping some for Home Def. but would want to get some range time with them first.
(yes I have a 40 to 9 conversion barrel and like both sizes for different reasons)
I wanted some input on muzzle flip so I don't need to buy a box of each type (grain weight) of 9mm and 40 S&W to be close to what I might want at home in the end.

I am a huge fan of UWA!!! That being said, if you are really worried about recoil in their hotter loads, I would suggest buying some Federal 147gr hst's made by federal, or gold dots from speer. Heavier 9mm rounds dont seem to produce as much felt recoil, IMO, and they perform as well, and most of the time better, than the lighter, high pressure loads. So, I think you should just go with some good SD ammo from one of the big manufacturers...
Be careful
I tried the underwood in my glock 26 and the pressure was to high and they would not eject. Only buy one box and try them out before you spend to much on ammo you cannot use. That is what happened to me
If I were you I would use federal hst or standard gold dots

Failure to eject, when due to ammo, is usually from not enough pressure thus failing to rack the slide back hard enough to fulling engage the casing with the ejector.
