Hi,

"Normal" for a 9MM Luger is 123 grain bullet at 1,076 fps.

Breach block slap of the magnitude shown is not normal for the original load, as breach block slap against the internal frame abutment (as shown in the photo) was minimal, if any..

The aforementioned tape test does not measure the slap of the breach block against the internal frame abutment, which can easily be felt as a sharp pain in the firing hand.

Hope this helps.
