Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 124gr bullet and G1 BC 0.148, 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
Fiocchi's Shooting Dynamics 124-grain FMJ sits between the mild and the hot 124-grain ball loads here. It lists 1,150 fps and 364 ft-lbs, a power factor of 143 that clears the 125 minor floor for USPSA and IDPA by about 18 points. From a 25-yard zero the bullet is 1.3 inches low at 50 yards and 10.1 inches low at 100, and it has slowed to roughly 1,047 fps by 50 yards. Estimated recoil in a 1.9-pound compact pistol is 4.7 ft-lbs.
Only BPS is faster, at 1,210 fps, and it produces about 9 percent more recoil energy in the same pistol for 39 ft-lbs more at the muzzle. Below the Fiocchi, PMC Bronze runs 40 fps slower and Blazer Brass and Armscor 124 run 60 fps slower; the Fiocchi kicks about 6 percent harder than the PMC and about 10 percent harder than the other two, and carries 37 ft-lbs more than Blazer Brass and 25 more than PMC at the muzzle. None of this moves point of impact much: at 100 yards the Fiocchi drops 0.8 inches less than Blazer Brass and 0.9 inches more than BPS, and at 50 yards the five loads are within 0.3 inches.
Pick the Fiocchi for a 124-grain practice load with more speed and energy on steel than Blazer Brass or Armscor, without going all the way to BPS. It is a fair stand-in for a 124-grain carry load that runs a little warm. For a subcompact or a new shooter, Blazer Brass or Armscor 124 still clear minor at a power factor of 135, and the Fiocchi kicks about 10 percent harder than either. For the most margin over minor, BPS is the answer at a power factor of 150.
- Power factor of 143 gives about 18 points of margin over the 125 minor floor, where Blazer Brass and Armscor 124 have about 10
- 364 ft-lbs at the muzzle is 37 more than Blazer Brass and 25 more than PMC Bronze
- 60 fps faster than Blazer Brass and Armscor, which gives more cycling margin in pistols with stiff recoil springs
- Gives up only 60 fps to BPS, and the BPS produces about 9 percent more recoil energy in the same pistol
- About 10 percent more recoil energy than Blazer Brass or Armscor 124, the softer choices for long sessions or small pistols
- 39 ft-lbs and 60 fps behind BPS at the muzzle, so BPS is the better pick for steel
- About 6 percent more recoil than PMC Bronze for a 40 fps gain most shooters will not notice
