I'm getting similar numbers out of mine. H&N Match Pistol around 470 fps and Meisterkugeln Pistol avg 475 fps. I usually shoot this one at paper so I use wadcutters but i ran some JSB 8.4s and came up with around 430 fps, and AA Falcons around 460 fps.I've tried the more expensive R10s and H&N Match Finals and found the Meisterkugelns to work just as well for me at a much lower price. If I was a better shot I'd probably notice the difference although I'm more accurate with this pistol than any other pistol I've tried. It just feels nice.Steve has a newly designed grip for them with different finger holds and a slightly modified rake. Next time he has a few in the shop I'm going to stop by and try one out. I'm pretty happy with this one though so it would have to be something pretty special to make me change.
