i had one years ago, getting ready to upgrade from .380.

i can reload range/practice ammo, looking at 115gr boolits for both carry  & range ammo

what factor loads will work but not have shot to shot recoil affecting
accuracy. i have several other larger 9's & no issues with those

thanks

124 gr standard pressure HST is what you want. If you must do 115 gr then the old corbon DPX 115 +p is the ticket

I haven't been able to find one that cycles reliably in mine. I can run several magazines of ball ammo just fine, but as soon as I switch to a defensive ammo it starts jamming during the first magazine. The best cycling defensive ammo I've found is the 115 gr Hornady Critical Defense. It still jams but I can usually get a number of shots off first. I've tried new magazines and they don't make any difference. Mine's been relegated to a range toy unless I figure out the issue or find something that's reliable.
The 2nd is not about hunting, it never was. It was put in place for one reason and one reason only. You can't have them, we won't give them up, so get over it.

I carry with 124 +p HST in my LC9s pro. It cycles fine. My wife carries 115 critical defense in her EC9s.

Try to find Remington Golden Saber 124grain. They are more rounded and should feed easy.
