Found a NOS box of S&W 125 grain 9mm Nyclad. 50 rounds, $10. WOO HOO! As cheaper or cheaper than FMJ around here. I will most likely just stash it away but what are your thoughts on the 9mm nyclad? I know that the .38 is the bees knees, but I haven't heard much on the 9mm.

I have a few boxes left, and carry the ammo in my short barreled 642's.

The standard pressure 125 gr. load has an excellent rep for expansion, the +P load less so (supposedly a harder alloy).

The 158 gr. Nyclad does not expand well (so I am told).

I have water tested the standard pressure 125's, and they do expand nicely.

The Speer Gold Dot short barrel loads are the latest "darlings" for short barrels.

I have one full box left. I bought it in the late 90s.

You did very well indeed. I shot up my nyclad 9mm long ago. It did really well in a 6906. Accurate and good expansion.

Wow, I'd be happy with that purchase. I carry Federal's 9BP standard-pressure 115-grain load in my Star BM, but I'd gladly trade that out for the Nyclads that you bought. And the price! Whoa!
