115gr vs 124gr vs 147gr

[17+1]

115 grain factory plinking loads too snappy? Come on, my 110 pound wife can handle a compact polymer 9mm with 147 grain +p rounds. You probably have poor shooting form, buy a 22 and learn how to shoot. Then slowly mix in 9mm shooting. Maybe buy a full size steel pistol like a CZ75.

I've been training with this at close range on steel and have been VERY happy.

Recoil is extremely low, so low, the first shots i checked to make sure the bullet left the barrel.

The problem with freedom munition is over number of the training classes, I've seen some guys bringing freedom munitions, and doing tap and rack time to time. Reason? Most of it were light primer strike, failure to feed and just good old what the heck happened.

I know a few over few hundred can be considered as not much to concerned of, but still, you know.

For what its worth, I have a friend who shoots Freedom's "newly" manufactured ammo and seems to have no problem in his Glock 34 or M&P. I have seen LOTS of issues with Freedoms cheaper "re-manufactured" ammo.

Currently, I am using Fiocchi 115gr fmj for practice and plingking. 9mm, of course. Although the ammo very reliable, I am beginning to get irritated by how it's being bit snappy.

Can some one recommend me a well known and easily found factory ammo that's least to be snappy? I am hearing different stuffs from different guys regarding 124gr and 147gr about being lesser snappy.

I would really like to change the ammo for next batch of order and I would appreciate it if some one can recommend me a least snappy .

You need to shoot often and more rounds per session. Something like 100 rounds every two weeks until ou master your 9mm handgun.

Also take professional training. Otherwise you will never become a pistolero

Fiocchi 115gr is one of the more softer shooting rounds for my Glock. It doesn’t get any better.

Please read #33 and post another one if you care to help me out...

This is literally the first thread I have read on Calguns with “9mm” and “snappy” used in the same sentence.

I hope your finger heals soon.

Yep, I'm not a fan of Fiocci for that reason. Magtech is snappy too. Personally, I find Remington and Blazer Brass, both 115gr, to be soft shooters.

I generally shoot my LTC pistols (GLOCK G36 .45 ACP and Sig P938 9mm) one-handed anyway. On the theory that ranges will be short and conditions most likely will be poor, I will more than likely have other things for my off hand to be doing. And, because both are 6+1 capacity pistols, unless my support hand is fending off an attack, it will be reaching for the reload mag after the first few rounds as is.

147 gr. standard pressure rounds have less muzzle energy, so they are easier to shoot well one handed. And the terminal ballistics of the aforementioned HP rounds are more than adequate to stop the threat.

+1 to that. HSTs and Rangers exhibit amazing performance. I also carry those. 124 vs 147 recoil difference is negligible to me. I shoot mostly 124s and some 147s for practice. The 124 and 147 HSTs are easy to handle out of a 938 or larger. Performance of the 124s vs 147 HSTs is very close, though I'm guessing the 147s survive more barriers.

That must have been painful for you, too. I hear you, man.

Thanks for the info, sir.

It is quite embarrassing for my self, too. What can I say. Doing whatever I can to not to loose the grip. If you see how my grip gets loose after firing a shot you would be laughing at it for sure.
