FPS is just something the ammo makers use to sell ammo.......
It is what a bullet does, either fast or slow, that counts and what I go by.
As for the 147 gr. bullet being too long................
the Speer 115 and 124gr Gold Dots are around 1.12" OAL...
and Speer calls for the 147gr HP to be set at 1.13" OAL.
If a pistol fails with just .01" more OAL........a new ammo is needed.
I like all three 9mm weights, just that they have to be "Spread around"
in my weapons that like them.
