    Interesting how far the bullet has gone before any noticeable recoil of the gun.

    Also interesting is the 1200 fps 45 ACP round - not that common.

    'Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense rounds

    In testing the 9mm and .40 S&W ammo at Liberty’s home range, the Civil Defense rounds traveled at velocities greater than 2,000 fps and over 1900 fps for the Civil Defense .45 ACP round. These velocities are nearly double that of any other standard ammo. The Civil Defense lead-free rounds are made from nickel-plated copper with a nickel-plated brass cartridge case. Every round exceeds match-grade quality in performance.'

    Unusual, as you say. My .45ACP bullets are only doing around 835fps.
