I tend to favor 124 gr. GDHP, but will not snub a box of any modern duty grade hollow point.

Basically by some diff. types and weights and see which shoots best out of ur weapon and then by a case or two of the selected brand and you should be set for life.

FYI, SGAmmo.com just got some 124+P HST in 9mm recently, and the price is great:

One person uses on round for summer, another for winter. I was wondering about using alternating between:

<!10>9mm 147 FP HPCB

and these

<!08>9mm- 147 RN

???

I'm just wondering if one bullet type isn't always perfect what about alternating?

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks.

I normally just pop off 100 win white box for target but I really want to try the Fed 100rd box. Except, my walmart never seems to have it. I saw a walmart with the 50 round box but didn't want just 50 that day and all they had was one box. I see walmart also carries a Fed personal defense low recoil round. I wonder if those are any good. I don't know I'm kind of thinking of the Critical Defense but my CCW instructor said he had lots of misfires in a box...

The Hornady Critical Duty load might not be bad:
