The HST 230+p, Corbon DPX +p is not much different and not too bad compared to standard pressure. The Golden Saber 185+P packs a wallop and has definitely more recoil
On a side note I did 10 rounds of HST 124gr standard pressure out of my PC Shield into medium weight jacket, hoodie and t shirt.
10 out of 10 expanded beautifully to .671" average. The shallowest penetration was 15 1/2". The deepest was 17 1/2" I will carry that round in all my 9mm's
So far I have been getting excellent expansion and penetration with 185+P Cor-bon DPX and I just tested Remington Golden Saber 185+P which did excellent. Penetration to 15 1/2"-16" and expansion at .715" Golden sabers are readily available. The DPX is hard to find

I have one and also the LCP custom. Trigger is nice. Pistol is nice but I shoot the custom better. Maybe its the taller sights? Both have been flawless. The LCP II I seem to shoot to the left. A LEO friend of mine does too. About 1 1/2 - 2 inches to the left at 7 yrds. My wife on the other hand...
I have a G36 which is 6+1. I have carried it with HST 230gr and I also have a Walther PPS M2 and a PC Shield.
I will carry either 9mm 99% of the time because of the weight
I do have a +1 for the G36 and a +1 for the Shield but I don't have the confidence in them as of yet compared to the OEM mags
I read through this whole thread. Why didn't you try a Walther PPSM2, Shield9, Glock43, Glock26? You picked a 938 that I am quite a familiar with. You have to carry that pistol locked and cocked. That is fine for some and not so fine for others. Do you do any research at all on your choices? The...
LOL...no it does not shoot .22! I had walked down to the target and wanted to get a picture to post...I then wanted something of relative size and I found a .22 on the ground!! I used it as a photo prop!!!
When I bought the gun it was on a trade deal and is my first bolt action rifle. I asked them what the twist was and nobody knew. I use 55/62/68 and 75 gr in my AR's. Each one that I own likes different ammo. When I first went to the range with this gun the groups were as tight as 1 1/2 inch to...
Well I went to the LGS and picked up some 40gr Hornady VMA. Here is the result of a 5 shot group at 100 yards. The black circle is 1 inch in diameter. I think the gun is fine ! I just needed to find the correct round for it!
It is the factory barrel. I will try some quality 50gr tomorrow and see how it goes! I cleaned the bore tonight. I can say I know ammo makes a huge difference. I have a Rock River Elite Operator2 with a 1/9 twist. It did not shoot the 55gr all that well but the 62gr was an amazing tack...
