[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3283241, member: 10465"] I dunno. I just bought it...because. I suspect it is just like several other manufacturer's short-barrel ammo in terms of design in order to optimize the amount of "oomph" out of a short-barreled gun. Maybe it's the rate of burn or something; maybe it's just a catchy name. It does come in a cool lookin' box though, if that matters. The more I think about it the more I think it's just a name on the box for marketing purposes. Looks like regular old Sig V-Crown ammo to me. I remember reading about some tests on gel using short-barreled guns and shooting [U]Regular Gold Dots[/U] vs [U]Short-Barrel Gold Dots[/U]. There wasn't [I]enough [/I]difference to make [I]any [/I]difference as I recall. Again , I suspect marketing. Imagine the consumer; with his short-barreled gun discreetly worn: There he stands in front of the ammo display. One box says Gold Dots 9mm 124 GR +P and the other says Short-Barrel Gold Dots 124 Gr +P. Which one is he more apt to buy? I betcha he most often buys the Short-Barrel ammo cause he feels it has to be the better choice. Same-same with those of us who have Sig P365 pistols: Sig's 365 ammo just [I]has [/I]to be better, it says 365 on the box! Marketing; mostly. "Mad Men" kinda stuff...it's all in a name. [/QUOTE]
