Arrow Veriforce Tactical and P'wr Ball ammo...

Has anyone had any experience with Veriforce tactical products? I am thinkind about picking up the desert coloured stock & forend / grip, phantom flash suppressor, tactical flashlight, and vpoint reddot w/ mount all for my WASR 10. I want to make sure they are decent products before I blindly order them. They seem like a quality comany. And is the P'wr Ball ammo in .45 acp worth being Carry munition? Thanks all.

I use Corbon Pow'r Ball ammo in my Colt Defender because of the 3" barrel. The polymer ball pushes the hollow point open under the reduced velocity achieved from the abreviated barrel.

I figure it has a 9mm velocity, a .40 S&W bullet weight, and a .45 ACP diameter. What's the down side?

Firearm was semi-automatic action with 3.8" barrel length

Shot 1 - Penetrated to 10.9". Average recovered diameter 0.659".

Shot 2 - Penetrated to 12.6". Average recovered diameter 0.687".

Shot 3 - Penetrated to 11.8". Average recovered diameter 0.698".

Shot 4 - Penetrated to 12.2". Average recovered diameter 0.668".

Shot 5 - Penetrated to 11.4". Average recovered diameter 0.684".

Average diameter = 0.679". Average penetration depth = 11.8"

gelatin test data from http://www.brassfetcher.com/.45ACP%2...;r%20Ball.html

cool, thanks. That's a lot of penetration for a .45 hp
