You’ll just have to experiment till you find something reliable in your particular firearm. Granted, this gets expensive fast!!
My experience with a P-9 suggests a standard velocity 115 grain round is best. Reliability is IMHO far more important than a slight improvement in performance with a +P or +P+ round. Good luck!! |

A very good non +P round in 9mm is the Win SilverTip, yes it's the one that everyone and their brother says failed the FBI. It works well. Just not designed to shoot through glass and car seats and still be effective.

I have a K9 not exackly the same but I've had excellent results with the 124gr Remington Golden Sabers, I use the +P, but the standard load is supposed to be nearly as good. The reason Gold Dots are recommended over Golden Sabers is that more agencies are using Gold Dots so there's been more shootings with the GD.

I have a PM9 and fed it a box of Winchester Ranger SXT at the range the other day with only one feeding problem from the round jamming into the feed ramp instead of sliding up it.
I also agree that you do not need the +P stuff. One thing that wil help reliability if you are confident to do it is a good polish on the feed ramp. I polished mine when I got back from the range and the PM9 feed ramp polishes up beautifully and hopefully will prevent any more FTfeed. With all that said, I have only put about 100-150 rounds through the gun so am still in the break-in period. IM me if you need. I love this little gun! |

I had the Kahr back to the range and this time after another 200 rounds it must be loosing up real well. ZERO problems with the +P Gold Dots this time. Thanks for all the input guys.

In my PM9 I've put 60 rounds of CorBon 115+P's with no problem. I have also put about 60 rounds of the CorBon Powerball 100+P's. I like the idea of the Powerball better. It has the polymer ball in the hollowpoint to help facilitate potential feeding issues. I orginally bought one of the first PM9's out and had nothing but feeding problems. I traded the gun in and waited. I have now bought a new PM9 (about 600 rounds through it) and had no problems that can't be blamed on me.
I carry Powerball confidently |

I carry Federal 124gr +p+ in mine with no feeding problems. My Kahr has gobbled everything I've fed it. I've only got about 50 rounds of the +p+ through it but I have run about 250 rounds of Winchester 115 ball with no hicups. I've used Remington 124gr +p Golden Sabers without any problems either. I just carry the Fed load in every other 9mm so I carry it in the Kahr as well.

Winchester RA9T. It is 147 gr standard pressure, and performs very well out of short barrels. Feeds flawlessly in my PM9.

Coincidentally, this is the same ammo I would use in an offensive application.

I run the Gold dot 124+p and love em.
Try polishing the feed ramp. I have run 300 rds of 115gr ball in it first and then the 200 rds of 124gr gold dot JHP's. Strong hand and week hand and limp wrist , No prob. |

I run Hornaday xtp 115 and 124 grain in both my Kahrs, MK 9 and P9, with no problems whatsoever. I steer away from +P just because I'd rather have control than an extra few fps. A few zillion rounds and a dozen years as an EMT suggest to me that shot placement trumps velocity and caliber in most respects.
Also used Black Hills in 124 gr. hp bullets with no problem; about 50% larger groups than Hornaday ammo, but cheaper. |
