On the surface, it seems like a lot of marketing going on here. I've read a bunch of the debates about the legitimacy of the whole concept of "knockdown power," and most of these discussions end up in a "stand-off agreement" (so to speak) that shot placement trumps all.
It will also be interesting to see how the CCW crowd embraces (or not) the notion of carrying around 18 rounds of 185 grain 9mm in your typical full-sized magazine.
At the risk of being the "get off my lawn" guy, I'll pass.
Insufficient data to say anything meaningful about ballistics/performance at this point. Unknowns: BC, barrel length & optimum twist, feeding and extraction, accuracy, etc.
No independent ballistic tests on Youtube yet, but I'm sure there will be some evals in the near future.
