Good SD round for new Karh PM 9?

[Jeff Scott]

What hollowpoint or self defense ammo have you found that runs good in your Kahr PM 9/40. I have just finished breaking mine in and am ready to try some SD ammo out.

Thanks, Jeff

Ranger Ts 124 or 147 gr of your choice in 9mm... IMHO I do not shoot 40 S&W.

I keep Speer 124 gr. +P GoldDots in my PM9 LM

 

[9mmepiphany]

Ranger 127gr +P+ is my choice. Mine will run with the Speer 124gr +p GoldDots, but I know folks who have had problems with that bullet profile

I have Corbon in my Kahr 125gr JHP

The only bullet i would carry in a pm9 is speer 124 gr +P SHORT BARREL gold dot.

 

[Jeff Scott]

I have been reading a lot of good things about the Speer Gold Dot's so I may try a couple boxes of them. I am not opposed to trying others if they work for you so keep the suggestions coming and thanks to those that have replied so far!

My K9 does very well with Federal LE Barnes XPB(all copper) 115gr HP +P.
With the shorter barrel PM9, you won't go wrong with the Speer Gold Dot 124g short barrel rounds.
