[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1372621, member: 1132"] 9mm lives and dies on expansion. There just isn't enough velocity in the 147's to ensure reliablle expansion under all conditions. The hotter you drive a 9mm the better (up to the point of bullet fragmentation). In the sparing amounts you'd be shooting, the +P+ stuff wouldn't harm a modern defense pistol. I shoot 115+P+ in my PM9 and it's none the worse for wear. The 147 HS would be excellent for use in a suppressed subgun or pistol, but for all other applications I'd prefer a 115-127gr driven at max velocity. [/QUOTE]
