It has done well in Police shootings. (2nd one from top)

It is my chosen defence load for my 9mm due to cost, availability, and effectiveness.

I've shot these (for functioning and accuracy only) in 9mm Luger and .45 Auto. It is "good value for the money" ammo.

I carry these in my PF-9. I also carry Remington (UMC) 88-grain JHP .380 ammunition in my Bersa Thunder. Both please me on the range in these guns. The 9mm price was similar the last time I bought it, which was a couple of months ago at Wal-Mart.
Scratch that: it was UMC .380 88gr JHP I got at Wal-Mart recently; the 9mm UMC stuff came from Gander Mountain..

I've bought several UMC Mega packs 9mm. Great range ammo.
This used to be my carry load, until I could afford the premium stuff. It's good stuff for the money, in my testing I never had any fail to expand to approximately .54. The loads are consistent and they shoot accurately, and function 100% in everything I've tried them in. If I was to go back to using cheaper jhps I would go with this load. IMO they are better than WWB.
In my neck of the woods it costs $25 at my local walmart for the 100 pack, so you didn't do too bad.

Remington's UMC ammo is the only ammo i've consistently had various issues with over the years. i won't buy this garbage anymore.
had bullets that weren't crimped and sunk into the shells, squib rounds, dud rounds-you name it.
in fact, i'm sending them some 40cal rounds that came out of the box with the bullets pushed almost all the way down into the shells (weren't crimped). they send you a $25 check if you mail them crap UMC rounds. (a relative gave them to me lol)
i'll be using that check for better quality ammo from winchester, federal, or s&b.

Back when I worked in a gunstore, I carried a Browning Hi Power 9mm and loaded it with Remington 115 JHPs because they worked well in that pistol and that is the ammo the local PD carried in their Beretta 92 pistols thus making them very defendable in court if you had to shoot somebody.

One man's famine is another man's feast, I guess. I use this stuff all the time for standard range work, along with Winchester WB. It runs great in my P99 and P99C; I've never edperienced a misfire with it, a failure to feed, a failure to eject -- no hiccups of any kind, in fact. Perhaps its the gun and not the ammo that causes problems for some?

Never had a hicup with the Remington JHPs. I'm happy carrying it in my 9s.

They shoot just fine in my CZ-75B, and you can't beat the price - $25 for a 100-round box, when I bought 'em in California a few months back.
The hollowpoints on mine look a little sloppy (e.g., not 100% consistent from round to round) but I doubt that functionality is affected.

by underrated, he means loaded weak. this is glock's standard BS response when there's an issue with one of their guns not feeding ammo that it certainly should. cheaper for them to say that than fix the gun under warranty.
they've said the same thing to customers about WWB......plz.
i love glock, but their CS sux.
The UMC 115 JHP is a good defense load. I've tested it in water jug test and it performs as well as the high priced loads. Also does'nt lose the jacket from core when fired into water like a lot of others do. Does as well as some of the expensive loads for a lot less.
