9mm Defense Rounds?

[Gzus]

I'd recommend... Sticking with the .40

DPX is really the best ammo you can get for a 9mm. Best really for any caliber. Pricey though...

"Who" is all of the govt. and law enforcement agencies who did more tests than just gello, such as barrier penetration of walls, car doors and windshields. Corbon DPX rounds do not deform when going through barriers, and only expand when meeting soft tissue, reliably. Of course, that issue is not so important for self-defense civilian shooters who are unlikely to ever need to shoot through cars. As I said, ALL of the major brand name self-defense rounds are excellent.......................elsullo

Hornady Critical Defense gets my vote as my thought on defensive handgun ammo.

Gee, I just can't shoot anything larger than 9mm, because my pee-nis is just too small........................elsullo

I second that as do several area Law Enforcement Agencies.

Personally, I say find a premium round your pistol cycles well and provides reasonable accuracy. Then practice with it, a lot.

No matter what round you use it only counts if you can hit your target with your chosen defense package.

Mind, Body, Firearm and Bullet. Putting the bullet on target, in a high stress environment, is the result of everything else working like it should.

Just my .02

Just bought my first 9mm, and wondering what to use for it. I'm planning on making it my EDC once I shoot a few hundred through it. I use the Winchester PDX in my .40 and like them a lot, but am wondering about the Remmy golden sabres.

Thoughts?

Use something in the 45 acp type of ammo. 9mm is a wussie round for the limp wristed element. Larger hole means faster bleed-out. Greydog.

DoubleTapDrew,thanks for that link to the pictures. I will keep my favorite 9mm round to myself. Spad

Hornady Critical Defense in my .380 & .45ACP, since it was designed and tested to go through thick clothing and other barriers without clogging.

If I still had my PF-9, it would be Hornady in it too.

Sorry to threadjack..but I can't resist. The best 9mm self-defense round is about 15 of them...........
