I work for a Fed Police agency, they did a pretty thourough test of 9mm hollowpoints in deciding what ammo we would carry in our service weapons, Beretta 92D's they settled on the Remington Golden Sabre 124 grain. Apparently the consistancy of expansion was the best of any of the other loads tested and reliability has been 100 percent. If you are going to carry concealed I would highly recomend it. Of course buy a couple of boxes first and make sure that the accuracy and reliability is what you are looking for in your pistol. Some claim that the hevier 9mm bullets are the best but from the tests I've seen they tend to over penatrate and thats something as a private citizen you should be concearned about.

Also I've fired thousands of rounds of S&B ammo through my old 1985 vintage CZ-75 as that was the only inexpensive round available in Germany at the time I noticed several things about it then. 1. it was much hotter than the average 9mm load of the day. 2. It was the only 9mm we could find that was 100 percent reliable in a friends Luger. 3. at the time some of the pistols would have problems igniting it due to hard primers. As for wolf my Kimber loves it but it gives my Para fits due to the primers so basically if it functions in your pistol reliably use it. I still miss that old CZ it was manufactured before the fall of the Iron curtain and wasnt being imported when I got home someone offered me, $1000 for it and being a poor ex soldier at the time I couldnt pass it up. Someone has a nice trophy now.
