About the Lemas ammo, I've got some questions about it, as I'm evaluating the new RBCD pistol ammunition (the only type I can find available to civilians). I found the older thread in the forums here that answers some of DocGKR's ballistic issues against the Lemas ammo (http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ad.php?t=11179).

The thing that is a bit confusing is, the ammo that is now available is what you find on the RBCD site. It shows that they have a couple of versions of 9mm pistol ammo:

Civilian TFSP version: 60gr, 2010 fps, 539 ft./lbs

Performance TPD version: 50gr, 2300 fps, 590 ft./lbs


Would it be fair to say that the general points made in the above thread about the original Lemas ammo, apply equally to these RBCD civilian pistol rounds? And, if you were using one of these, would it make sense to simply choose and test the one with the best performance on paper, for possible CC use?
