re: Ammo question about short barrel 9mm

I thought 165 was where it topped out for a 9mm but wasn't sure.

Most heavy-for-caliber 9mm offerings will be 147gr.

My personal carry loads:

Federal HST 147gr +P (S&W M&P9c 3.5")
Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P (Kahr CM9)

Check out videos from ShootingTheBull410 on YouTube. He's done a ton of testing with short barrel carry guns. From what I remember, the two carry loads I use were consistent winners in his testing.
