Well, with 185 grain hollow point, you’re not going to have as much recoil. Therefore you will be able to get your pistol on the target quicker after firing a round. I shoot bullseye matches with 185 grain wad cutters (similar) and at 25 meters with the rapid fire (5 shots in 10 seconds) I’m able to get very good groups. That’s firing NRA approved one handed of course.

Hollow points make good stopping power. I think you’ll be good shooting those out of a 1911...

Thanks for the info, not for me but for Race. I was buying a bunch of bullets for my .357 and I saw a deal that Race might be interested in for his Ruger 45. The question came up about about the difference between the 780 military loads and the 1085 factory loads, I didn't know so I asked the experts.
