I was in walmart one day walking around and walk by the ammo case and noticed that they had several boxes of federal hst .45acp. Now i know that walmart carries the winchester pdx1 as there primary sd round but has anyone else seen the hst on sale at there local walmart.

I've never seen HST at Wal-Mart but I'm going to start keeping an eye out. I can't find any HST locally because gun shops only carry Hydra-Shoks because they are stuck in the 1990s. I wouldn't mind having a local source for 9mm +P HST.

If I find out any local Wal-Marts carry the HST in 9mm, 124-grain +P in 50 round boxes ... I'll probably have the wife get a second job working there ... stuff is hard to find these days (except at work, but we never get any extra).

SGAmmo often has Federal HST and at great prices in boxes of 50. Delivered to my door works much better than trying to find any at Walmart and trying to find someone to open the ammo case IF they ever had any that would be a lot higher priced anyhow not to mention sales tax and gasoline costs.

Not when you're in 9BPLE land. $16 for 50 for a round that's proven to work, and you can train with it too.

SGAammo sells the same for 60 cents a round.

You poor guys are really missing out. Having to choose what ammo you take home from Walmart. Come to my Walmart, located less than one mile from a gigantic Walmart Distribution Center. It's very quick and simple shopping. Same as it's been for years. They have plenty of 12 gauge. Maybe a bit of hunting rifle stuff. .22lr, .45acp, 9mm? Not in years. Probably at least 4 years, for real.

HA! Yeah, I think most of us have pretty much given up on WalMart post Sandy Hook and have gone online->bulk for most of our orders.

If you have a rifle you probably do. But I know what you mean. In the past I've bought all my Federal HST online in the plain white 50-round law enforcement boxes. I was paying $30 per 50 rounds for the HST rounds in .45 ACP but I've since switched over to 9mm for carry and have yet to stock up on any 9mm HST, so I'm always looking for a good deal so I can pick up 300 rounds and be done.

What makes 9BPLE better than HST? I want to know the hard facts. HST has proven to be a stellar round in the tests I've seen.

If one actually is "better" than the other, then it's going to be in some microscopic,almost indiscernable way. I'd venture to say the most tangible way one is better than another, would be by being the less expensive one.

That's true if you are only going to buy a single box. In that case it may make more sense to buy locally. I usually buy a case of practice ammo and then add on a box or two of SD ammo when needed. Where I live sales tax is almost 10 percent which is even more incentive for me to buy online.

9BLE has been documented to give actual hydro-static shock to the shot victim. Do an internet search.
And the wound cavity is just massive compared to the HST. The +p+ 115 gr is moving upwards of close to 1400 fps. If not over that from a service pistol. That makes all the difference compared to 1150 fps from the 124 +P HST.
