As with any self-defense round, the best solution is not the ammo but the expertise of the shooter. Practice, practice, practice…it may not get you a gig at Carnage Hall but it could cause your adversary some grief.

That is exactly my thinking. I am planning to develop some loads in conjunction with custom bullets. What intrigues me here is that the W+F P06/29 is the only centerfire handgun I can shoot faster and more accurately than a SIG P210, either in hand or on the draw.
