Federal 147g hst for 9mm

[kahrinca]

My CW9 doesn't seem to like the Federal HST in 147gr (P9HST2). It does not feed reliably. It seems that whenever I shoot it there's a stovepipe. I usually don't shoot much of it due to expense but don't seem to have the same problem with GD 124gr +P.

Before I even shot the firearm I tried cycling live rounds of both through the firearm. The GD did fine, the HST 147gr did not agree with the cycling regimen.

Anyone else experience this problem with HST 147gr with a CW9, or, if not, CM9 or PM9?

No problem in my CM9 and my CW9 its my everyday carry round. -Todd

Runs great in my cw9 and my K9. have shot +p and std pressure, a couple hunnert rounds. no issues, very accurate, the std is very easy recoiling. Steve

federal hst good to go from what i have experienced but i prefer the 147gr win pdx (no particular reason other than what i have read & some homemade tests in a few different calibers).
dont know about you guys but i havent noticed much difference in accuracy within 20' with different rounds in my pm9. they all hold a similar group but follow ups are sloppier & slower (for me) with the +P's. the 147gr had similar(or better) damage and less recoil (and noise) than the +P. i really havent found an "inaccurate" round in the pm9...

New member here, and I posted in the general discussion. I'm having issues with the Federal HST. I'm not able to load more than 4 rounds in a mag, and if I do the PM9 wont cycle. Two of the mags are new.

I have a pm9 with approx. 500 rounds through it. I tried the Federal HST 147 grain. If I put more than 4 rounds in any mag it wont cycle. I've tried new mags also. Any ideas

The HST 147gn +P is a terrific defense round which I carry in 9mm.

But, HST loads in 147gn are big at the mouth and tough for a new Kahr to feed. Once broken in well it should be fine. I polished my ramp and other friction places and it feeds without fail. I also replaces my recoil spring with the next stronger one from Wolf (don't remember the strength) as I did the mag springs. I also shoot the +P to get another 100ft/sec out the muzzle.
