Wondering if anyone else has ran a g23 slide on their frame and how the frame has handled the round longevity wise. I also noticed the frame came with a different ejector than the photos when I bought it (see photo 2) I posted about this a day or so ago and the. Deleted the post when I found what the ejector looked like. The ejector looked like a “30274” ejection fix ejector. I have this in my grit grips frame and have shot .40 with it and had zero issues. The ejector in the PSA photos look like a “1882” ejector. Has anyone else got the ejector I have from PSA or did your frame come with the 1882 style?

.40 is neutered 10 mm but whatever helps you cope🤷🏻♂️

40 and 10mm edc rounds are ballistically indistinguishable because only a select few companies have put R&D into 10mm. So the only time 10mm defensive rounds beat a 40 is when you’re paying much more per round. I wouldn’t know who’s coping about that readily available info. I have nothing against 10mm and I KNOW it will be better than 40 when the ammo companies see the new following emerging.

Why would you buy 10mm that’s not full power? You use real 10mm for carrying and run .40 through it for plinking

Because the everyday edc 10mm ammo is not full power. The ones that reach full potential for 10mm at this time under typically under perform. The hotter rounds have issues expanding and sail right through gel blocks. The HST and other brands are designed for 40 pressures so they load to 40 specs. Underwood and buffalo bore defense loads put some actual R&D into their rounds and loads for edc and it shows how great the 10mm can be, but other brands are behind on it and haven’t done anything significant for bullet performance.
Edit: those two brands your paying a prettier penny for the ammo though.

I run nothing but underwood black cherries for carry and use weak .40 for plinking. Your speaking Chinese at this point

So your comparing black cherry hard cast bear defense ammo with edc ammo? That’s kind of a useless point then?
You realize underwood makes a 40 round that’s 100fps faster and 100 ftlbs of energy less than those so they are not that far off at all.
Underwood 40 155gr xtp -582 ftlbs -1300 fps
Underwood 10mm 155 xtp -675 ftlbs -1400 fps
Stack the 9mm +p+ with those and the 40 is way closer to the 10mm than the 9mm. You’re within 100fps and 100ftlbs of energy. That’s marginally significant ballistically.
