New PM9 owner, optimal SD ammo choices

[Nytcrawler93]

I don't buy into the short barrel loads. I bet they are VERY close to whatever the +P version of whatever manufacturer's load is. The perp is not going to want any round in him and isn't going to be asking if that is the correct round or not.

I think that ammo ballistics is a little bit like splitting hairs. What cycles through my gun and what I shoot well is more important to me. That said, I choose Golden Saber because they come 25/box instead of 20.

I buy my Gold Dot and HST in 50 round boxes when they are available. I do like the GS 25 rounders also, and the 147's feed fine in my Kahrs.

I picked up a box of Hornady Critical Defense 115 gr. FTX. to try out.............................I noticed that they are a bit shorter than my HST's.............................I think they may feed a bit smoother.

There are all kinds of hollow point choices here that come in 25 round, or even 50 rounds per box. http://www.sgammo.com/catalog/pistol...ition/9mm-9x19

In my PM9, I shot the Critical Defense 115's and the Fed HST 124 gr (std, not +P) both out of it multiple times. 1st, in my PM9, never had any ammo fail to function perfectly. But I felt the recoil with the HST's was much more noticeable in this size gun than the Critical Defense. And i was somewhat more accurate with Crit. Defense too, so carrying that for now.
