The summer is here and I am switching back from my 4566 to carrying my 659 and 5946 and was wondering with all the different ammo out now is it all about the bullet or is speed the king "ie" +p or +p+ rds.I am currently using some vintage Win silver tip hp 115gr.That I have had for years,but am now looking at grizzly xtreme and the glaser +p blue, any thoughts would be appreciated,as its time to get with the program.
9mm Defensive rds what do you use

I use Winchester Ranger 147 grain JHP out of my 3913, the only 9mm I still use.
It is very accurate out of the 3913 and has a good track record with west coast LE agencies.
IMO you should use any 9mm JHP round that you can shoot accurately and get quick, accurate follow up shots with. I wouldn't worry too much about +P or +P+. A standard velocity round will be sufficient - if you do your part - and have less wear and tear on your pistol. I am from the shot placement school though.
Good luck! Regards 18DAI

I thought we'd already talked this to death in a dozen different threads, but to answer your question I completely and totally agree with 18DAI.
Winchester Ranger 147gr JHP, used in my 908, 910, or 39-2.

Remington Golden Saber 147 grain is the most accurate, BY FAR, in my 9mm S&W pistols.
the 124 grain comes close.

Just out of curiosity, why would you switch from the 4566 to the 5946 or 659 for summer carry? I would imagine that if you can carry either of those 9mm's, the 4566 is the same size and probably similar weight.
But since that wasn't an answer to your question, I carry Golden Sabre 124grain+P JHPs.

Ranger T's 124 gr in full sized guns, Gold Dot SB's in less than 3.5" barrels.

I agree, why people think novelty loads like, Glaser, Magsafe, DRT are anything but marketing hype amazes me. They have been shown to be ineffective, even Double Tap has been exposed as not performing as advertised. I can't speak for all of Buffalo Bore's products, but the "low recoil" loads are BS too.
The smart play is to buy known, established manufactures with proven results. IMO.
The 659 is a little bit smaller and it is nice to switch things up and the 5946 is a new purchase that shot real well with fed 115gr fmj so it will leave the house with me some.What can I say it is nice to mix it up.
Well thats kinda why I still use the silver tips that were bought in the 80s and i still have a bunch of federal nyclads also.So it looks like there is a bunch of hype with the gun writers.

9mm ball will work as long as you hit your target its just technology has really exploded as far as bullet design and function in the last 10 years.

9mm ball is like stabbing someone with an icepick. It sure hurts, but it doesn't really do much damage unless the CNS is hit.
I carry nothing but Federal HST rounds. 147 or 124 Gr.

Underwood ammo loads the 115gr. Speer Gold Dot to 1400 fps (comfortably in .357 Sig range) in 9mm. People online rave about their loads, and prices are fantastic.

If you want something that shoots comfortably, look for the 147 grain Federal HST in standard pressure.

Same here. RA9T penetrates as well as some .40 and .357 sig from what I've seen. Sometimes less is more...more often than not, it's more that's more imo
