This is to let everyone know that I have been informed by my Gunsmith that I have been shooting over pressure factory ammuntion in my Colt Commander. I have a dent in two of my slides adjacent to the firing pin hole. A link to the original thread is below.

The ammunition I have been shooting the most of, which is also the ammunition I have been shooting recently is Fiocchi 230 gr,.45ACP, FMJ. The Fiocchi web site rates this ammo at 875 fps and 390 ft-lbs of energy. Lot information for the partial box I still have is below. In my most recent range session I rented three pistols, a Kimber Stainless Classic, a Glock 30, and an HK USP Compact. With all three pistols the primers deformed into the primer hole. I will post photos of my slides and several deformed primers as soon as I get the film processed and scaned.
Avoid the following Fiocchi 230 gr FMJ 45acp ammo.
Lot Information:
CIP 014
