I saw that J&G sales has this ammo on sale for $99 per 1000 plus shipping. Is this decent ammo? I heard that federal makes it. It is only 95gr and high velocity so I don't know how that will affect how it shoots in my various 9mm pistols.
Any horror stories about this ammo? Are there better deals out there for 9mm by the case?

That must be why it is so cheap.

I bought 6 boxes of 9mm Hirtenberger +P+ from J&G. WELL OVER 500ft/lbs. of energy and crappy inset primers. I still have one box, might end up using it in a 9mm revolver if I ever get one. Otherwise, for autoloaders...avoid that crap. Too powerful, won't function correctly and may damage your gun if used excessively.

Thanks. I just went for the Winchester White Box (1100) rounds. I like this ammo and shoot it a lot, it is hard to beat that stuff for inexpensive 9mm. I was just fishing for a better internet deal but I guess there really isn't one at this time.

Come on guys, how about some FACTS instead of wild speculation? There's nothing to indicate that this is subgun ammo. Indeed, the "CLEAN PRIME" branding on the box (http://catalog.jgsales.com/itemdetail.php?itemnumber=5-1124b)would seem to indicate that this is, in fact, regular commercial ammo.

MY FEG is factory rated for 95gr FMJ @ 1350, per the factory manual. I'd bet that radway green stuff is in that territory.
In fact, I've never seen a commerical 95gr 9x19mm load.

I shoot and carry (at times) British Aerospace JSP's...in my PCR and SA...the are a 95 gr NATO spec and from the SA are well over 1450 FPS......Things go "boom" when shot with it.
Shoot well
