I have invested in 2 of Corbons offerings, their .32 ACP 60 grain and .38 Special 110 grain +P.
Their .32 is excellent, and I have no concerns about shooting it, but then there is that .38.
I loaded up my 4 inch +P rated Rossi with standard pressure 130 grain FMJ, 125 grain SJHP +P, and the 110 grain Corbon +P.
130 grain - bang
125 grain - bang (same report, same recoil as the 130)
110 grain - BOOOOOMMMMM
It felt like a .357 going off, well almost. The water jug it was aimed at folded up in a way that not even my .40 JHPs can manage, it actually blew apart and collapsed vertically .
The recovered round had lost lead petals along the way and had shed its jacket. There is no doubt that this round would do a real number on an attacker, but......
It feels SO powerful, it's hard to believe that this round is within pressure limits, I've shot +P+ that felt much milder. I really want to try out their 135 grain .40 S&W load, but seeing as how the .40 pushes the envelope as it is, Corbon may well push it over the edge with their pressure brinksmanship.
So should I be concerned, has anyone had problems with Corbon.
Thanks
Newton
