No factory 9mm 124gr Flat Nose ammunition?

[Koda]

SB9S specifically: 124gr, 373 ft/lbs, SP. If it was a flat point, it would be perfect.

File the round lead part down flat to the copper jacket?

Too bad you aren't a little closer. As a member, I get a little discount and free shipping from TargetSports.

I think it will work. Filing the lead down could make it like a poor mans HP? But taking a little off the top looks like a probability.


Its close to larger calibers (357, 10mm, 44 mag, etc.) hunting ammo.

Thank you but I'll order it from PSA. They're selling it for $23/box and I already have an account there.

It will work. Here's a photo of my 10mm soft point round from Federal ammo. The flat edge might still catch bone enough to break thru though not as well as a true hardcast flat nose or solid like the extreme penetrator. IMO a soft point should mushroom and penetrate deeper than a hollowpoint but not as deep as a solid/hardcast, better suited for deer hunting or cougar protection.

I carry these for cougar protection but for bear protection I would carry a non expanding penetrator like a hardcast or an extreme penetrator.... especially if I was carrying a 9mm, IMO 9mm is not even close to 357,10,44 etc... go for best penetration.
