Federal 147g hst for 9mm

[dcollins]

I have been looking at ballistics testing on the cartridge above and was wondering if anyone can tell me of accuracy and reliability of these? I have a cm9 by the way. THANKS

Can't really comment on the accuracy, I'm still working on that myself. But 12 of them feed reliably though my CW9 today at the range. Although, I haven't had any ammo that gave me any issues so far.

I only put 12 through it because the range I go to you really don't have the opportunity to change targets often. I didn't want to put a whole box down range on a single target.

I have found them to be 100% reliable in my PM9.

I carry 147gn HST +P in my PM9 and they never fail, load well and are as accurate as I. For me they are the perfect 9mm SD round.

they work well out of my dept issued G17.

I received a few pallets of it a couple of months ago. I shot some in my CW9 and it did well for me.

It won't slingshot load in my CM9 and it will lock the slide back during the firing cycle by the wide nose pushing up on the slide lock. It chronoed at 870fps. I use the 124gr Gold Dot.

That is the exact round I'm planning to carry in my P9 Covert when it gets here this week. I'm looking forward to trying it. I've also got a box of the +P that I've been saving for something,just don't know what.

Perfect in my CM9.

Runs fine in our Kahrs.

[Redstate]

Tried some in my MK9 and they ran fine. The 147 HST do have a great reputation.

I have 147 HST (NOT +P), but will be adding the +P to my stash soon. Very dependable rounds in my PM9.

i ran 200 through my cm9 with no problems. I wonder why others are? when they lock back is that after last round?

some of these kahrs seem more sensitive to larger bullets. and some will give premature slide lockingopen. It happens more with 147 grain ammo, not every brand is guilty. Some more prone than others, but again IMO it us usually an out of spec slide lock lever that either needs replaced or slightly modifed kwhich many here do, as it is a simple fix.

I had 3 replaced in my Pare Carry 9 before it quite hitting the slide release lever. If ur thumb isnot the culprit then best start looking at the bullet. a simple test to see if that is happeing is talked about in the propper prepping thread. I would bet kahr vendors out their slide lock levers,so specs are gonna happen...99% are no issue at all..
