Solved from this product's advertised 1200 fps, 115gr bullet and G1 BC 0.177, 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
Speer's Lawman 115-grain TMJ is a total metal jacket 9mm load made for handgun training. The jacket wraps the base of the bullet as well as the nose, which Speer says cuts airborne lead at indoor ranges. It leaves the muzzle at 1,200 fps with 368 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.2 inches low at 50, where it still holds 1,098 fps, the most of the loads compared. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 4.3 ft-lbs, the stiffest of them.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal American Eagle 115-grain is 20 fps slower with 12 ft-lbs less at the muzzle and leaves lead exposed at the bullet base. Remington UMC 115-grain is slower still, at 1,145 fps and 335 ft-lbs.
- A fully jacketed base, for indoor ranges that restrict exposed-lead bullets
- The most muzzle energy of the loads compared, 33 ft-lbs over CCI Blazer Aluminum 115-grain
- Keeps the most speed at 50 yards of the loads compared
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared, about 9 percent more estimated recoil than Remington UMC 115-grain in the same pistol
- Supersonic at the muzzle, so a suppressed pistol still gets a sonic crack
