.452 is just trolling because OP didn't say "9x19, 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, or 9mm NATO"...even though every single person in this thread, including .452, knows precisely what Op was referring to.
This post caught my interest so I looked into this stuff a bit. I found a video showing this stuff to penetrate completely through blocks of balistic gel, and into a couple water jugs, and STILL not expand at all.
Yes, it's inexpensive, and I'm sure it'll go 'bang' everytime, but this older ammo isn't nearly as effective as the more contemporary offerings discussed already.
Failure to eject twice in 100 that I figured was ammo related...either the weight or the quality of the cheaper ammunition...however it had worked for me in other full sized 9mm pistols...
It's hard to beat the inherent accuracy of the XTP JHP bullet. My HK P30 cycles these reliably and accurately. I don't shoot a steady diet of +P ammo from my P30, but the gun shows no wear or damage from occasional use of +P ammo.
I like heavy for caliber bullets and think the 135-147 grain bullets give me what I want out of the typical short barrel length 9mm handguns (less than 3.5" is a short barrel to me).
Federal's HST is my favorite for personal defense. When I'm in the woods I carry Hornady's XTP, also in 147 grain.
Me too and my Colts in .45ACP really love the 185 grain Silvertips as well. In 9mm. I also like the Speer 124 grain Gold Dots and the Hornady 124 grain XTP ammo.
If no +P or +P+, the old Federal 115 9BP JHP. This because it has been very accurate in my 9MMs and will feed in about any gun that will feed ball.
I do not consider the 9BP desirable as a Duty/SD/HD round. It is old tech, low energy, not likely to expand,etc. For serious purposes, I would much prefer the similar but more energetic Federal 9BPLE, XM9001 or one of the newer HST type rounds......ymmv
