CM9 Is it true that GENERALLY doesn't like 124gr

[Sirvive]

I THINK I've read on here (or somewhere) that PM9/CM9 doesn't like 124gr.
Is that true? Partially true? If so why?

[GLOCKROCKER]

Mine eats everything. In fact I carry Federal HST 124gr as a defense round.

[Sirvive]

But has anyone heard that they generally don't prefer 124gr?

If we told you everything that we've heard, we'd have to kill ya................

Mine eats everything. PM9. I have run black talons, NATO, WWB, S&B (every variety) and no issues of ANY kind.

I've shot everything from 90gr and 124gr lead reloads to 115gr, 124gr and 147gr Hollow points. Eats everything I load in it with no issues at all.

I have a CM9. I use 115 Gr ball ammo on the range (my loads). However I use only for self defense 124gr Fed HST or Speer Gold Dot.... I have shot enough of both to know they feed well.

I've actually got better groupings (tighter) using heavier 124 & 147 gr. JHP's out of my CM9 than I did with 115 gr. bullets

I echo all of the above. I ONLY shoot 124gr with my PM9. I use Speer Lawman TMJ 124gr for range work, and load Federal HST 124gr for SD carry. I've shot over a thousand of the Speer 124gr, and over 100 or so HST 124gr all with no issues and very good accuracy. I have also shot some 115gr and 147gr though it, yet for impact and accuracy 124gr is the way to go for me, and I couldn't ask the PM9 to run it better.

During CM9 "breaking in period", had 0 problems with 124 gr. Had 4 FTF with 115 gr. during 1st 40 rounds fired. Since then ( I do not keep count of boxes fired) feeds everything: 124gr. 115gr. 147gr. I carry 124 gr Federal HST.
My CW9 prefers 115 gr. Hornady for carry, as does my Taurus 2nd Gen. PT111.

[dirtengineer]

I only shoot 124 grain bullets.

[rowdy115]

My CM9 likes all flavors fine too. I prefer standard pressure 147 grain Federal HST for carry purposes

I'm "pretty sure" shooting 124 gr is what broke the follower in my CM9. Made the feed ramp tang slap the follower. I shaved back the feed ramp tang a little and no issues since.

My CM9 loves 124gr. Hornady Personal Defense. It digests the 115 and 147 rounds just as well. I'm tempted to name my CM9 Mikey. It eats anything. Hey Mikey!

That's your follower not liking 124gr, not your CM9 (good job on the fix)
To the OP: it's been my experience (owned a CM9 and reading here), that it is NOT TRUE that "GENERALLY" the CM9 doesn't like 124gr.
