Remington 147 grain 9mm Golden Saber JHP (GS9MMC) Winchester 147 grain 9mm Super-X Subsonic (XSUB9MM) Winchester 147 grain 9mm Silvertip Subsonic JHP (X9MMST147) Numbers given:įederal Gold Medal 9mm 147 grain JHP (9MS)įederal Hydra-Shok 9mm 147 grain JHP (P9HS2) JHP (R9MM1).īad 9mm Loads to avoid (and certainly NEVER carry).
For older guns I would use the Remington standard pressure 115 gr. Other excellent standard pressure 9mm loads are the Winchester Silvertip 115 grain (X9MMSHP), and Federal 124 grain Hydra-shok (P9HS1).įor guns that may jam with the Cor-Bon or Federal 115 grain hollow-points, the Remington 115 grain +P JHP is a good choice (R9MM6). Its effectiveness and accuracy make it the world standard. The best standard pressure 9mm load is the Federal 115 grain JHP (9BP). This load is suitable only for First Class pistols (see table). Modern hollowpoints may either (a) jam, or (b) be too powerful for some older guns. For this reason I add a table at the end of the 9mm section discussing round suitability for different guns. Unfortunately, it is also likely to jam many older guns. It is a high velocity (1340 fps) and high pressure round, and more effective than any load restricted to law enforcement use (such as the Federal 9BPLE). This is the most powerful and street-proven manstopper available in this caliber. I will now tell you the best 9mm Luger load for self-defense: it is the Cor-Bon 9mm 115 grain +P Jacketed Hollowpoint. Civilians should not worry, as there are commercial loads as good or better than anything restricted to law enforcement usage. I will deal here with only commercially available ammunition: there are specialized loads available only to law enforcement personnel. Use ball ammo for practice only.ĩmm ammunition is available in two pressure levels: standard and "+P." The latter should only be used in newer guns (made since 1985 or so), and is best used sparingly. Jacketed hollowpoints are a must if one wishes to rely on the 9mm as a defense round. For this reason it has been the subject of a lot of experimentation, because 9mm ball - used by every army in the Western world - is a mediocre manstopper. This is unquestionably the world's most popular pistol round. I'm interested in what you folks would recommend for Target and HD/SD.ĩmm Parabellum (9mm Luger,9x19mm, 9mm NATO, or simply "9mm") In this article, here's some 9mm thats recommended and some that you should stay away from for SD/HD. The plan would be to use the target ammo at the range, but then switching to the SD/HD ammo while the gun is at home. I'm looking for ammo recommendations for target shooting and self/home defense. It's only a matter of time before I get my 1st 9mm pistol.
