I decided to resurrect this thread a little (since I got some really good info from it).

Ammunitiontogo.com has Federal HST 9mm 124 gr. +P for only around 19 bucks for a box of 50.

http://ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/p...low-point-ammo

I ordered a few boxes to try it out. If it feeds/ejects well, I think that's what I'll carry going forward.

I presently carry the Hornady 115 gr. JHP but looks like those have issues with failure to expand going through cloth. The Federal HST is actually cheaper.

I am carrying HST now. I have an EMP and it has been said that they are picky on ammo, well I have no problems feeding that to it!

Hey guys..
Sorry I took so long to respond. Unfortunately the guy I spoke to did not have the answer to the HST acronym. This sucks... anyway I guess I'll just have to let that go..

I have one quick question thou fellas. What are your opinions on the Powerball ammo?? (In all calibers)

Btw way I just picked up some HST's my self and thus will see if they have any problems feeding and the like.

Not your best choice.

They lose their jackets so they can't retain full weight.

remington golden saber is great round in any gun for defense. i've talked to a few people who work in the e.r. and they have seen these inside of people and can't believe the damage they do on impact
