Para 16

P12 P13

If you have an older Para full size in 9x19, the RP9 mags are a very good fit. And at $20 / mag... a bargain. The Mag base sits flush with my P16-40 ( no mag funnel ) ... however the "beak" of the mag plastic base is more pronounced then the OEM P16-40 mag... I'd bet a little sanding will contour it to a better shape. While I don't have a 9MM full size Para. to test feeding... a .40 HST would feed grudgingly into the 40 cal. barrel when fed from the 9MM mag. I wouldn't recommend using the 9MM mag for your .40 pistol... but that did tell me the feed is most likely fine in a 9MM Para full size frame. Anyway... $20 bucks a mag.... Off to find a 9MM conversion barrel for the P16-40 https://www.cdnnsports.com/remington-rp9-18rd-9mm-magazine.html?___SID=U

A question for those of you guys running a brake... what barrel length is it being used with ? My 16" has very little gas left at the brake.

And Barrysuperhawk.... If you are interested....I have a bunch of .223 /5.56 data as well.... 150+ rds ( not gonna count all of them right now... ) fired from a 16" and 20" AR. Same boat on adding some data.... and sorting through my surplus piles. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_16/676005_Various-Chronograph-results----16-Middie-and-20-Rifle------223---5-56.html

Very Nice. Thank you for your effort... I truly appreciate it. The rest of the ammo is due to come in next week. ... I also have a variety of older 9x19 rounds I would like to add as well... ( Winc. 127gr +P+, Silvertip, Winc. 115gr +P+ ...anything from the '80s and '90s I have sitting in the assorted ammo pile, that I have to sort ) Can that be added to the permanent copy at a later date ? Also if possible, could the "Para 16" name also include "bfoosh06" ... I can't seem to figure out if I can change my "name" on this site to my much more common internet name.

I don't have it in spreadsheet format... and frankly have no idea how to do that easily. If someone wanted to do it... I could input the additional info as I get it. IM me I am more then happy to share with everyone.

Lol.... don't ask.. I am in denial. Mods , Is there a way to edit my first 3 data posts ? I have other additional rounds coming... and / or.. should I wait until I have the actual chrono data ?

Added more up coming rounds for chronographing... They are the ones with all the ................................ behind them. And ordered some Atlantic Arms AMU rounds and some 147gr Major ... ( I suspect these are loaded with VV 3N38, at about 1200fps from a pistol )

Yes, ES stands for Extreme Spread.
