I thought they dumped G2 and went with Hornady Critical Duty.

They did.

I recently attended a ballistics workshop from Hornady. The new Critical Duty is good. But, nothing to change my opinion on ordering it for my department. Our Gold Dot keeps on holding it’s own. Now the Hornady sniper stuff.... wow. I have heard mixed reviews about the G2. I think, my opinion remember, the good ole’ Gold Dot is just fine.

A drift, but I assume that’s approval—?
If so, which load, if you don’t mind?

Yea ah. Didn’t mean for a thread drift. But, the load was the 168grn. ELD match/Tap. Amazing energy dump, penetration, and expansion.

continuing thread drift...168gr? don't see it on their site. Is it special LE round?

I believe so.

When doing close quarter contact drills, everyone else's 9MMs punch wimpy little scoreable pencil-pusher holes in the paper targets.

Your 357 Sig blows out a basketball size crater right through the target and cardboard backer, sending the target clamps flying.

The rest of the students have to stand around fidgeting, and rolling their eyes like 7th grade Valley Girls while the instructors fetch replacement backers and silhouette targets.

This only happens twice before the instructor just tells you to just fire through the gap so the class can go on.

This is the reason why I use an old target for the first stage of our qualification course. Close quarter shot at 4 feet and it blows a big hole in the paper and cardboard.
