I was in the grocery store the other day and saw the P250 in the magazine section. It was on the cover of Gun World magazine. I actually never remember seeing this magazine before. I picked it up, of course, and guess what was not only on the cover, but was in the centerfold too. Flapper

Not a bad article. 5 or 6 pages. Nothing we have not heard/read before. One tidbit of info, the author seemed to think that the P250 worked best with Hornady ammo.

Not surprising that someone would point out the P250's selective appetite for the ammo it uses.

Actually he didn't. He was just saying that it was the most accurate. To quote:
"Despite my reservations about DA-only pistols, this one proved to be really quite accurate with the right ammunition. I can't say that it preferred one manufacturer or another, but it did like the 100-grain FMH Hornady loads best. Shooting three five-round groups with each load allowed me to take an average and gave me a good idea of what to expect with a gun like this. With 90-grain Hornady hollow points, 2 inches was a good group. The 100 grain Hornady FMJ was the pet of the day, delivering nice, tight groups that ran around an inch or slightly larger. I like the 115-grain bullet weight as a standard for 9mm shooting, and both the Remington and CCI brands came in around 2 to 2 1/2 inches. Finally the Winchester 147-grain Subsonic delivered groups around 1 3/4 inches. All in all, I was impressed." - Gun World Magazine November 2008 issue.

Here are some pics from it as well:

Does anyone know of any reputable tests that are fairly scientific in terms of reliable, accurate ammunition for the 250?
