Yes or no? Im a shot placement guy. If you make them bleed, or stop their forward momentum, I have enough time to get me and the family out of there. I still would shoot mostly white box for break in/practice. But is the CM9 rated for +P?

I asked that very question of our range officer. I carry a CM 9 off duty. He said yes, as long as you don't feed a steady diet of +P.Comment

u can shoot +P until the cows come home, if u can afford to do that. Uain't gonna hurt that gun PERIOLD.. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

+P is pretty much all I shoot in most of my 9'sComment

Any of the name brands in 124 +P would put a rocket in your pocket. IF you decide you want something softer I'd recommend you try Black Hills 115 gr. EXP (extra pressure). Feeds and shoots great through my PM9."I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

Took my brand new CM9 out to the range today for the recommended break in. After about 215 rounds I ran some 124+P Gold Dot Short Barrel rounds through it. All I can say is that they were a handful. Very accurate / good grouping, but I think I will carry some standard pressure rounds in it. I don't think my wife would be able to have any degree of accuracy with those rounds should she have to use the CM9 in an emergency.Comment

Can I infer that you had no issues with your new CM9 otherwise you would have mentioned that you had issues?Originally posted by Baaca View Post
What are some of the standard pressure rounds that you consider decent SD rounds?
Thanks..."I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

I've read (through poking around on the interweb) that the 147gr (non +p) is a good choice for short barrel guns. I'm no balistics expert, but it is something about the +p not being able to burn all the powder in the shorter barrel. I guess the "short barrel" version of the speer GD 124gr +p are supposed to combat this.Originally posted by jmurch View PostRessom

so they say, less muzzle flash, so it either works or they are using a different buring powder, which is more of what I think is happening. IMO there is always going tobe some muzzle flash in handguns, certainly the shorter barrel would produce more flash..

I think some Gold Dots in either 147 or 124 standard pressure (no +P) will be the carry round. I did have a few ftf where the front of the round "nose dived" so the the primer end of the cartridge held the slide back. It seemed that when I tapped the back of the mag against something so that the rounds were all the way against the back of the mag there was no problem. That, or my grip wasn't firm enough.Comment
