I've got a new Kimber Ultra Splatter, and am looking at the new specialty rounds designed for the short barreled .45's. I am intrigued by Cor-Bon's new round, the 160 gr. DPX. So I call around everywhere, local and on the 'net. No one has any. I called Cor-Bon, and they put an engineer on the line, who talks with me at length about the development and performance of the new round. Then he tells me I should call Mike, their national sales manager, b/c Mike has actually shot the new round a lot. He gave me Mike's cell #, so I called him. Great guy. Tells me even more about the round, and its performance. I tell him that's great, I can't wait to try it, where can I find it:scratch: Well, he tells me I will have to wait awhile, they only loaded one lot to date, which of course is all gone. Will have the next lot soon... I think he sensed my dissapointment, so then he says "you know what, I have a few boxes at home, how 'bout you send me your address, and I'll send you one":rock: That was Monday. On Wednesday, the UPS guy shows up with guess what?! That really impressed me. I hope the round is as good as I think it will be. But even if its not the one I choose to carry, I have lots of other guns that like Cor-Bon ammo.

Kudos to Cor-Bon, that's the kind of company I know we like to do business with!

Tests were done at Stoppingpower.net with great results. Corbon is a first rate company.

I know Mike and both Petes (Sr and Jr) from the NTI and they are great guys, real shooters who we are lucky to have in the shooting industry.

This story doesn't surprise me a bit.

I got a box of the stuff from www.cheaperthandirt.com, thats where I get lots of ammo for very... well... cheap. I assume they still have some. Its a nice round to shoot. It is a slightly taller round than most JHP types and you'll require a match grade type mag to ensure it doesn't hang up, just my observations.

I tried the45 compact DPX and now my carry round in my compact and my commander . I did my own water test and my rounds looked just like Stephen A Camp pictures. I've carried CorBon in my 380 for a long time and now in my shorter 45's Might try thr 185+P in my Gov. and my 44 mag needs some help .
