A very wise policy. Enjoy your M9!Thank you I just wanted to make sure.
The Parabellum moniker was all but standard until the mid-nineties
No shortage of (free) advice around here. Here is one more. Treat your brand new beretta to fully jacketed ammo. It will help keeping it clean. Fortunately most 9mm para are jacketed. Second, avoid shooting a lot of steel cased ammo. A little will not harm anything, but some say it will wear the extractor sooner over time. Third, mil surplus will be dirtier on average than commercially sold ammo.I did not get it yet but hopefully soon.
PDX1 is defensive handgun ammo designed for use in modern 9mms. It'll be just fine in your pistol, assuming the pistol is in good shape."Otherwise, Mike, as noted, any 9mm Nato/9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum/9x19mm should be good to go, unless it specifically says anything like +P+ or "submachine gun" anywhere... there have been some really hot 9mm rounds intended for subguns that you shouldn't really shoot in your handgun. But they're not particularly common. " ( Sorry I do not know how to post a quote as of yet. This was copied from a post by member 1KPerDay ).
I just bought 3, 20 round boxes of Winchester PDX1 DEFENDER 9mm Luger +P to use, if needed, in my Kareen Israel HP. My barrel is stamped with +P. Can I use this ammo in my gun? The gun is in good mechanical condition. If I can't use it in my gun does anyone want it at my cost, $22.47 a box from Walmart?
Steel cased HPs will be fine for carry and occasional practice. Just not for high volume shooting. Steel is harder than brass or aluminum and has higher impact on steel parts.Thank you again for the info and tips Greatly appreciated.
YZ - thanks I did not know that about steel cased ammo. That is just for target shooting/practice. What about defensive ammo? I would assume that is ok
I did not get it yet but hopefully soon.
That stands for Caliber 9mm Parabellum, the caliber, FYI.Here are a couple of pictures. It has CAL .9m/mP stamped on it.
