General Comments:
CorBon is probably the best commercial 9x18M defense round available.
Some early boxes of CorBon I bought had lousy quality control and
velocities were all over the place. The latest ones are much better
and I recommend them highly. Check out this picture of the bullet before and after firing. It's about the best you can expect
for such a small cartridge! And no, I don't work for Corbon.
Note that this was fired from the short-barreled SMC-918 so performance may be even better from a Makarov pistol. I carry the SMC-918, so this was important to me.
(1) This test was with a Russian Makarov with Federal extended threaded barrel. There we no signs of overpressure, nor was the load abusive in terms of felt recoil (with a Pearce grip installed).
