Anyone shoot these for their self defense carry round? I've seen really good reviews on this stuff for being an inexpensive round.
That was my conclusion as well, when you pay 30cents a round it’s less painful to test function more throughly.Test accuracy and reliability first and always with any new carry ammo. If it passes those, HP ammo is HP ammo. Especially during these times when you carry what you have/can find.
The REMINGTON 9.m. 115 grain jhp ammo is a mixed bag. The negative is that expansion is small. Check the LUCKYGUNNER Ammo Labs site for results. Even the +P ammo does not expand a lot.
However, this ammo was always a bargain and it worked in nearly every gun that I tried. The one exception is a SIG P-6, only ball (fmj) and COR BON Powerball work in that gun.
I used to buy the 100 round boxes of this load and use them as range ammo when I did not have some fmj. I would carry this load in my my larger 9m.m. pistols like the BERETTA 92, GLOCK 17 and SIG 226, where the longer barrel gives this ammo a little extra velocity, but my first choice is FEDERAL HST 124 grain jhp.
Because this is among the most reliable feeding hollow point ammo that I have come across, I would use it when breaking in and testing a new 9m.m. pistol. I would start with 100 rounds of fmj, then the REMINGTON 115 grain jhp and finally the FEDERAL HST which is my normal carry ammo for my own guns.
As either range ammo and carry ammo when you cannot get premium ammo, it will do, just not as well as a premium round.
