    The Silvertips were available in 9mm at that time and were new !
    Yes you are correct this shootout led to the 18” minimum test for new standards. The one shot that hit the suspect that should have been a lethal hit with the 9mm and Silvertip failed to penetrate the torso! This led to the development of the 10mm and then later 40 SW.

    For Glock 20 the OEM spring weight is 18lbs.
    I upgraded my recoil rod and spring to Pure Tungsten and 22 pound spring for my 700 FPE heavy trail loads.

    The 155 silvertips and 175 Silvertips were quickly abandoned after FBI shooting in Miami as Agents used the Silvertips failed to penetrate the subject after good hits.
    I suggest 180 or 200 XTP in 10mm Auto.
