Solved from this product's advertised 1210 fps, 124gr bullet and G1 BC 0.145, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 9mm Luger, or read Pistol Red Dot: 10-Yard vs 25-Yard Zero.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
BPS's 9mm 124-grain FMJ is a full metal jacket load made for competition. At 1,210 fps nothing else among the 124-grain ball loads compared is quicker. Muzzle energy is 403 ft-lbs, from a plain lead core in a copper jacket.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.2 inches low at 50, the flattest of the group, and still moving 1,086 fps. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 5.1 ft-lbs, and Armscor 124-grain comes in nearly a full ft-lb under that.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi Pistol Shooting Dynamics 124-grain is 60 fps slower at 1,150 fps with 364 ft-lbs. Maxxtech 124-grain matches the Fiocchi figure for figure. CCI Blazer Brass 124-grain runs 1,090 fps and 327 ft-lbs.
- A power factor of 150, 25 points clear of the 125 minor floor
- The most muzzle energy of the loads compared, 39 ft-lbs over Fiocchi Pistol Shooting Dynamics 124-grain
- Keeps the most speed at 50 yards of the loads compared
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared, about 34 percent more estimated recoil than Ammo Inc 124-grain in the same pistol
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
