I know this will seem like a dumb question, but is there any practical difference between 115gr. 9mm loads, and the 124-127gr. offerings?
If so, what?
Orrr...is it possible to pick one from any major manufacturer that will operate reliably in your gun, be it standard pressure +P, or these days, whatever you are able to find on the shelves, and have confidence in it ?

I'll field this one - - - Practical difference between 115 and the 124-127 I doubt the BG would be able to tell what he was shot with I like +P 124 myself.
All the major manufacturers make reliable ammo most guns made nowadays will run with most ammo made nowadays. YMMV |

In my G19 right now is the Fed 115gr +P+ If I could get a hold of the 9mm Geco BAT I would carry it.
On hand I have two boxes each
Winchester 115gr +P+
Speer Gold Dot 115gr +P+
Federal 115gr +P+
Corbon 115gr +P which acts like a +P+ at 1350fps |
It's only a 9mm! Then let me shoot at you.
You must hit your intented target with every round you fire, thus neutralizing the threat and reducing your liability.
Praying and spraying the landscape does not solve your immediate problem and puts innocent people at risk. |

Corbon only lists the DPX at 1250fps.
How do you like that GS +P+? I had a hard time recently tracking down my usual 9BPLE but ran into somebody offering a good price on the GD & was tempted. Both list at 1300fps and really come from the same company, so I'm assuming the GD is pretty much 9BPLE with a more modern bullet. |

| The GD 115 +P+ shoots great out of my P228. Ammunitiontogo has had it stock for quite some time now @ $24.95/50. That's about all I could find when I bought the P228 several months ago. I haven't looked around lately but I'm happy with the GD for now. |

Personally, I like 9BPLE for modern guns & C9BP for old school. I don't shoot the former for routine practice, just 100 rounds to confirm reliability & then annually or so shoot up the old supply once the new is in hand. For practice I like S&B brass case 115gr FMJ, which is affordable by the case & never did me wrong.
Lately I've found it pretty hard to track down anybody with either Federal load in stock. I've found some, but ranging far afield of the usual suspects. Lots of options in the +P & +P+ world, but what else do folks like in standard pressure? |

General comment: I'd avoid the products of botique ammo makers for serious purposes. While some may produce a quality product, abide by SAAMI limitations(and have the lab tests to prove it) and carry insurance; some don't. None have the courtroom stature of the major players in the industry.

| In standard pressure I have found the 147gr Win. Ranger-T and Fed. HST loads to be very good. |

That's kinda the trick, isn't it? Who makes the grade? Obviously Federal, Speer, Winchester & Remington. On this board certainly Cor-Bon. Is that it? |
