My Kahr MK9 Elite really hates this round. It likes the Cor Bon 115 +P...eats it like candy. Each gun is different. Try a few different rounds through each handgun. Guns are a bit like women, not every one likes the same thing...figure it out and you get what works :)

You really need to shoot your carry ammo even if it is expensive. If the real world goes bad, you need to know what works.

Good point. I want to know my stuff works when i need it.

Re: Best 9mm ammo for Defense?

My 124 gr Federal HTS1 will be here tomorrow. I am in the process of making some ballistics gel to test the rounds in. I hear a lot of losing fps with the 147. I hear its a good round just hard to find.

Re: Best 9mm ammo for Defense?

The Federal have done the best in 90% of the test I have researched. I am getting my own ballistics gel and will do my own. I just picked up some Federal HTS1 and Hornaday +p and come Gold dots. Thanks for the feedback and links.

Best 9mm ammo for Defense?

I have heard Cor-Bon 9mm 115 grain +P is good and Gold Dot 124 +p is good. Does anyone have a preference on what they carry or have experience with these? These will go in my EDC G19.
