Recently bought first 9 mm subcompact for concealed carry. After checking out several reviews and examining them in the store physically I chose the Sig Sauer p365. Also getting a Ruger in a 4 inch barrel. As many of you know the p365 Sig has about a 3.1 inch barrel and is a tiny little sucker that seems very well put together. Both have very different but fantastic triggers and good sites.
The gun came with a box of cig 115 grain Full Metal Jacket. I have since bought some 124 and 147 grain ammo both in Full Metal Jacket and in jacketed hollow point. A police officer friend of mine said they use 147 grain 9mm. But both the neighboring counties to mine use either 40 cal or 45 ACP.
So what reasonably priced ammo and grain weight do y'all recommend for 9 mm ?
And while you're at it what's your two cents on 9 mm vs 40 cal primarily for concealed or open carry self-defense?
