Best 9 mm FMJ ammo

The correct answer is 10mm and is always 10mm.:flipoff2:

(Don't listen to me. I don't shoot handguns enough.)
 
This is what I run, never had any issues feeding or firing. Runs pretty clean. It’s the correct caliber as well.

Yes and no. I have seen ballistic gell after the bullet has passed through other material and it’s not near as impressive. You don’t know what you are going to have to shoot through. Like Providence says “getting a hit on them first is the most important thing”. This has been proved out with statistics.

What I think is hilarious is the average person isn't 19" deep to their vitals, but guys like you think it's important that the fmj went 19" and the hp only went 12". :flipoff2:

If you're shooting through a barrier other than clothing you're wasting ammo. You might make a good cop :flipoff2:


The hp opens up, and cuts and dumps energy into tearing and cutting. Of course it won't penetrate as far. It's actually putting the energy to good use rather than just punching a little hole. :homer:

I never said I think it’s important to go through 19”.

I don’t understand the statement about the barrier.

Yes, I understand the mechanics of a hp.

So what ammo did you decide on?

I’m still making up my mind. Do we all agree that a heavier grain is quieter? I havnt heard this before. (No pun intended) If true, I want quiet. The ammo seek link on the first page looks like a good place to get 1000 rinds or more.
 
You guys are silly. Anyone that knows anything is carrying an AR pistol in a drop-leg holster.

WaterH — dunno if a heavier round is quieter. But a 147 grain is naturally subsonic. So you at least don’t have sound barrier noise.

So then why is penetration depth important? Any more than through the person is a waste of energy.

FMJs are for paper, not people.

You'll never be able to tell until you suppress it. Doesn't really matter, use what your pistol shoots better.

My XD shoots everything pretty much exactly the same.

My X-5 hates 147s. It shoots way better with 115s and 124s.

When you say “hates” , do you mean jams?

Its worth running a few different brands and weights of hp's through your gun before you go stocking up on ammo. Theres stuff out there that my CZ wont even chamber.

I mean it shoots 3" groups at 25 yards instead of the 1" that it does with the lighter bullets.


I've yet to have a pistol that won't function with any ammo I put in it. No way I'd put up with that.

It's not that, it's that 12 or 19 inches doesn't matter so I'm not wasting the money for HP. Little hole or not doesn't matter, most people survive getting shot so the energy to use doesn't mean jack.

They're more likely to survive fmj. You've never shot a hollow point at gel and had it shrapnel all sorts of pedals that cause extra wound channels?:laughing:

A hit is a hit. Do I have time and ability to get more than 1 on target in a dynamic environment? Most people are missing most shots, it's more ethical to bystanders to shoot them with round tips :flipoff2:
 
I'll take a bullet that doubles in size to make up for a lack of training and marksmanship.

You're the guy that would die from shock after getting shot in the hand because you're supposed to die getting shot :lmao:
