    What is top shelf 9mm self-defense ammo these days.

    Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P 9mm or equivalent from a reputable manufacturer for 99% of self defense encounters. The 1% might be the aforementioned 360lb lineman wearing a leather jacket, etc... I guess I'll have to take my chances in that case. And not to state the obvious, which I'm about to do, to...

    This thread is mainly for those born in the 70s or earlier, but everyone is welcome to join.

    SD9 Mag and racking problem

    Yeah I think I"ll just go with 15 in the mag. That's plenty. My guess is it's a follower issue, but as you guys are saying the cure is worse than the disease. Thanks for the replies guys.

    SD9 Mag and racking problem

    Recently attended a shooting class and put approx 300 rounds through my SD9. I was reloading all day with three 16 round mags with no problems. After cleaning the gun and mags I reloaded all 3 mags with the normal 16 rounds. Each mag was now difficult to insert into the gun and the slide was...
