I have fired subsonic 9mm rounds, 147gr - they will not operate the toggle to its full rearward position!
Hello Don,
Yes, the S&B shown is also subsonic.
(I do not have and am not allowed a supressor.)

But I am really astonished the 147gr did not operate the toggle fully, me expectation was the opposite.
The impulse of the S&B is about 5% higher than the Magtech, even though the energy is about 10% less.
(Yes, I did not try either of them so far.)
But good to know.

Best regards,
Martin
