I noticed the test barrel was less than 4 inches. Ed Sanow addressed the less than stellar performance of Hydra-Shoks in weapons with barrels less than 5 inches. This was reported in the "Guns & Ammo Annual" circa 2002. So, I load the Hydra-shoks in my full size 1911's and Remington 185 grain +P Golden Sabers in my Commanders. I know there's lots of other great ammo out there. As Mas Ayoob says, "You makes your choices then you pays your money."

I know you asked for local places but I bid on and purchased 100 rounds (two 50 round boxes) at Gunbroker.com. I got them from a place in California and I believe it extrapolated to about $14.00 per 20 rounds. This is the only round I put in my 5 inch 1911's. While I was at it I also bid on and purchased 100 round of 40 S&W Hyda-shoks. If you want more info, send me a pm.
