How many rounds through your gun before shooting the Hornady? Could it be that the gun still needs some break-in?"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

I have had good success with Winchester Ranger "T" series. I had problems with Gold Dots, sent the PM9 in and they fixed the slide stop. It shoots them good now too. I just like the Win. "T's" Better..My PM9 shot fmj like butter, but it did not jhp's until they fixed it..Mike"Shoot lower, sheriff. They're ridin' shetlands".

Has around 300 rounds of fmj thru it since new,,only shot around 20 rounds of fmj before I put the hornady in..flawless with fmj since new,,only time i had a problem,,the hornady looks to "pointed"..maybe that's why,,no problems I like the winchester rangers too..Originally posted by Bill K View PostComment

I like running Speer Gold Dots...It's shot everything else I've put thru it so far...Comment

i've heard of the subcompacts having issues with gold dots, but i use 124gr 9mm +p gold dots in my pm9 with no problems. close to 3000 rounds of that through it so far.None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. - GoetheComment

I just got some Federal HST 124gr that I think will work well. Already had some +p HST that worked well.Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

Hognutz: " I had problems with Gold Dots, sent the PM9 in and they fixed the slide stop." My PM9 nose dives with Gold Dots. What kind of jams were you experiencing before Kahr fixed your slide stop? Also, what did they do to the slide stop?Comment

gold dots seem to be the most problematic HP ammo through the little kahrs for some reason.
my experience appears to be the exception.
gotta love h&k priced guns with hi-point quality control! yeah, i went there. guess i can't hate too hard, 2/3 of my handguns are kahrs. i just love the form factor and trigger, and i know that once you eventually back kahr customer service into a corner and force them to give you a functional kahr, it's 100% reliable.
maybe you get lucky and get a flawless kahr the first time like i did with my pm9.

Not officially a HP, but Hornady Critical Defense feed well, and overall are probably a better load if you are likely to encounter a "animal" (two or four legged) with lots of fur or clothing on."Never pet a burning dog"Comment

...as is mine. I did the teardown and cleanup, racked the slide, made sure it had plenty of oil and it ate through Speer Gold Dot 115 gr. HP like an industrial-strength garbage disposal, no problems at all.Originally posted by apheod View PostComment

So far Hornaday Critical Defense is the only Hollow point I've never had a problem feeding in my CM9. I attribute it to the pointy shape of the bullet. Gold dots are the worst! (As far as feeding). Winchester Ranger T +P work most of the time, but I've still had some FTF. I have modified the Mag followers and done a little polishing of the feed ramp.Comment

I do not have a CM9, but a PM9 and a MK9; both of them like CorBon DPX."America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

maybe it still needs more time to break in,,it's still really tightComment

It could be. How many rounds does it have on it? I never shoot HP during the break-in period.Originally posted by raptorider View Post"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
