This video from NRA Publications, featuring Preston from Hornady, discusses new ammunition offerings for the 5.7x28mm cartridge. Hornady has expanded its Black Line with a 40-grain V-Max load known for accuracy and value. They also introduced a 40-grain FTX bullet specifically for the Critical Defense line, designed for self-defense with approximately 12 inches of penetration through heavy clothing and FBI gelatin.
This review of the Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander highlights its reduced weight compared to standard Commander models, making it comparable in feel to smaller carry pistols. The reviewer notes increased recoil due to the lightweight frame, especially with hotter loads. The pistol features a crisp, light trigger, estimated at 4-4.5 pounds, which is praised as one of the best among featured 1911s. The firearm demonstrated flawless reliability with various ammunition types.
