I think he is right, my G35 has a lightened slide, when I used in USPSA shooting 5g of titegroup w 180's to cycle.
So Im sure NOW with full power loads, and even with a 20 lb spring, it's still hard on the gun.
By full power, I mean "Bear Loads", 200g Montana out of the 6.2in KKM at 1277 fps. using 800x
More snappy than my buddies G40 10mm (6.5 in KKM) shooting the same 200's at 1320 fps.

A small 2 port comp would slow the slide speed down and prob fix the problem.

Always makes me laugh when people stress over whether or not their $500 pistol will live long enough to shoot $12,500 worth of ammunition……

That’s a pretty hot load you are playing with 🧐

Yeah 5-10k over saami, just buy a 10mm.

Yup, max loads are hard on any gun. Over max loads, harder still. My g35 happily runs 180 minor loads with 3.3gr of WST & stock springs.

Guns are cheap, ammo is expensive.

Or just go stock , more than “ powerful “ enough

Like every other caliber, some factory loading are hotter than others. In 40 I've found Lawman to be as potent as many duty rounds. I even "feel" it to be a tad snappier than HST's.

REM GS seem to be on the hotter side by feel

Bit of a silly question, but can I assume the frame is a foliage green? Because on my screen it looks like the frame is gray.

Not rattle can with the quality on the camo I don’t think. But I was told it’s got the tenifer finish so I don’t care if it wears off

I’ve been a big 10mm fan since it came out. I’ve always thought why buy a .40 when I can just use low end 10mm. Especially since I reload.
I still think that way.

Would I buy a .40 S&W today? Yes I would !
