Kahr CM9 - Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, Winchester PDX1 124gr +P, Hornady XTP 124gr +P, Federal Hydrashok 135gr (all are mixed around in the mags)
I've been carrying around CDefense in my CM9, but just bought some Federal HST 147 gr and some Win RangerT 127 +p+.
TBH I'm a little hesitant to shoot the Rangers out of the Kahr. Probably save them for the M&P. also probably shouldn't have bought 150 rds of it.
Can someone link the AR15.com piece on self defense ammo? It's pretty thorough and should offer some light on why people are recommending what they are. I think it explicitly says Hydra Shocks are subpar.

This is what I have heard as well, but I dont have any real basis to prove it. My main reason for changing is because it's an older design and I believe ammo has evolved quite a bit in the last 10+ years.

This may or may not be from the same source material. It is the reference I use - actually the original article, I believe, is on chuckhawks.com, but this version is a little more user-friendly - although it is word-for-word in many cases. This version is also focused on handgun calibers.

Kahr barrels are made by Walther and are +p rated. As long as I'm not giving it a steady diet of Gold Dots or PDX1s, it should hold up just fine.

The "new" Hydrashok design is the Federal HST. If you want a newer design, get the HST. I've seen ballistics tests of the Hydrashok and it seems to do the job pretty damn well. No complaints from me...
