Looks like the folks at Doubletap Ammo finally brought one out. Prior to this, the only round that came even close to the original Norma-spec loads was Winchester's 175 grain Silvertip:

180 grain, 1350 fps from a stock Glock 20. Not too shabby at all!

They also have a 180 grain Gold Dot (1300 fps) as well:

Double Tap is great stuff. I know a lot of guys who swear by it. I recall reading somewhere the results of a gelatin test where their 165gr Gold Dot penetrated to 14.25" and expanded to 1.02", and the pressure wave that this round produces is quite substantial. It's really the best of both worlds. You can't ask for more from a pistol caliber, especially one that can be fired from a very manageable, high capacity platform.

No kidding. Those guys have amazing precision, and consistency. Best of all, they can do all of this without exceeding the SAAMI max pressures.
