So let's try this again. The following is info on IL state police issue 9MM ammo, 1968-93. Info is from ammo boxes that I saved & numbered (1 through 8).
In some cases, the approximate year is included.
#1 1968-ish. Winchester 100 grain FMC (full metal case). Nickel plated cases, round nose.
#2 Winchester 115 grain FMC, nickel case, nose is a bit more pointed than #1. 1972-ish.
#3 No box available. Head stamp =W-W 9 mm LUGER. Brass case, copper nose with slits, round lead tip.
#4 Federal 95 grain JSP (jacketed soft point). Triangular copper nose, with a flat lead tip. 1980-ish.
#5 The infamous Silvertip. Winchester 115 grain hollow point. Early 1980s.
#6 Winchester 100 grain Power Point (S.P.) S.P. "may" stand for state police. Brass case, triangular nose with slits, flat lead nose.
#7 There's some confusion (on my part) about #7. The round I thought was #7 has a head stamp of R-P (Remington) 9 mm LUGER. It has a brass case and a copper hollow point nose.
But the box that I actually wrote #7 on is a Federal box, 115 grain JHP. I couldn't find any of these cartridges, only the box. Mid-late 1980s. There are other ISP ammo posts on this forum, maybe someone can clear up this confusion.
#8 Winchester 115 grain +P+ JHP . Late 1980s, I know that we used this in the S&W 5904, I'm unsure if it was also used in the S&W 439.
Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy enough to post photos.
