Does anyone know of any chrono videos of SS192 besides Buffmans video?

I've seen it claimed at 2100fps, but Buffman got a 5 shot avg of 2000fps.

I'd also be interested in any white box 195 chrono tests anyone might know of.

Re: SS195...

From all the chrono readings ive seen from actual 5.7mm users, it seems like blue box SS195 is as powerful nowadays as SS192 and SS195 white box ever were, and is only just slightly less powerful than SS198 LE only ammo. I've seen these listings: 2100fps advertised, SS192 (anyone have actual chrono ...

Not to hijack thread but what is so special about these rounds? im new to the ammo and not familiar with the different rounds. SS198LE is FN's law enforcement duty round. They voluntarily restrict it to LE sales only. It seems to have about 50 fps more velocity than the civilian SS195LF self defens...

I wonder what they're changing. I hope they're reducing the grip frame circumference. They could easily do that by removing the excessive checkering on the firearm. The trigger guard could use a little restyling too IMO. Yep, reduce the checkering and restyle the trigger guard, and you would have m...

Re: Five Seven Barrel

There are already 2 companies handling stock length threaded barrels. I don't see any point to you getting into that unless you can smoke their price.

To me, the 2" threaded with a full contour compensator sounds the coolest. You would get a big bump in performance with a 3" barrel gain.

The P7 is a great pistol. I have a P7M13 on the way in January I am told. Have you ever held one before? They're very rare so most people, even P7 people, have never held one. The M13 has a grip like a 2x4. It loses all the wonderful ergonomic feel of the single stack P7 and P7M8. BTW, the pix in m...

One of the barrel options is for a ported barrel. So discussing the effects of porting a five seven seems to me to be on topic?

The problem isn't the thread length, it's that you have to use an adaptor, which increases the length of the whole set up.
