I’ve shot tons of RA9MMJHP, RA9TA, RA9124TP and RA9T from Winchester over the last 15-20 years through a variety of handguns and Mp5’s. I’ve never had an issue, nor has our office, with the 9mm SXT ammo. Our ammo supplier had issues with a couple of batches of SXT three or four years ago that had a poor crimp, but if I recall correctly that ammo was either .40 or .45 ACP SXT and not 9mm (or we would’ve sent ours back).
I did get several cases of White Box 115 FMJ 9mm with no flash holes in random cartridges, but that was 6-7 years back.
The RA9T is the 147 gr SXT at the upper-left. Our ammo supplier is a good friend of mine and he swears by it in his micro pistols and other ccw-sized guns. I also like the standard-pressure, heavier bullet loads made for the very small guns. I’m currently carrying Federal 9mm 150 gr Micro HST in my small off-duty 9mms and 127 gr +P SXT in my duty guns.
With all the great loads out there I think you will be well armed with the 147 gr SXT, or an equivalent brand/type ammo, from any of the current self defense ammo makers that are using premium self defense-oriented bullets.
Stay safe.
