    9mm HD ammo

    Ive been looking at options for 9mm HD ammo. I've found the Federal JHP 135 or 147G, but was wondering if there are any other suggestions?

    Well, the Critical Defense seems to be loved right now. I really like Ranger-T's because of its solid history and cheap cost compared to its $1/round flavor of the month defense round.

      I personally use "Winchester ranger 127 grain +p+ hollow points. I'm no expert, but there's my input.

          +1 on the Critical Defense.
          I have the 115g 9mm loaded in Glock 17, shoots very well.
          The round itself is very relaible also.

              Id say Winchester "Whitebox" 147gr HP, $19.99 for a box of 50.

                Use what your local PD uses.

                  Speer gold dot 124 grain +P seems to work fine in my glock 19 but not to cheap at $23 for a box of 20. I used two boxes to check reliablitiy and it was great and recoil is not bad at all a bit more that the range ammo.

                      On a side note, I believe you should train with the same weight that you intend to use for HD. Since I use 115gr at the range, 115gr Critical Defense rounds made sense.

                          I run the Hornady Critical Defense and I like the ballistics on it. I have only fired it at the range but it's loaded in one of my CCW guns.

                              You can find the same stuff (Speer gold dot 124 gr +p) in boxes of 50 for around $25 -$30 a box.

                              I would say any of these would work great:

                              Speer gold dot 124 gr +p Or +p+
                              Winchester T series or SXT
                              Federal HST
                              Any corbon

                              The only hollow points I would stay away from are from reloading companies.

                              I did notice that the 147 gr seems to have more recoil/ push then the 115 gr in +p
