| Is there a 9mm ammo that is the milspec/LE favorite for rangework like the XM193 is for 223? Ordering my G19 monday and figured I'd look into training, non-defensive pewpew in the meantime. |

None per se that's the "standard".
Any quality 9mm FMJ ammo will be good for that gun. FMJ is cheaper. If you can find surplus NATO 124grn FMJ, that's good stuff, as it's "hotter" loaded, perhaps more closely replicating the recoil you'll find with your chosen defensive load. For me, it's a Montana Gold 115 grn JHP over 4.4 grns of Titegroup.

I use Winchester 9mm luger 115gr FMJ at walmart its normally $22 for 100 rounds. Self defense I use Win or Rem 115gr JHP I like the REMs better because they have a deep huge mouth. I been thinking of getting some +P or some +P+ JHP anyone using this? |

Are you talking generic hollow point from them or what? 124 and 147 Gold Dots are available at ammo to go. |

Sellier and Bellot makes a damn fine 9x19mm FMJ. Cheaper than Winchester White Box and just as good. Even lacquer their primers for long term democratization.
Frankly, any 9x19 mm ammo will work just fine. However, you stay away from lead bullets. Also, if you chose reloads, make sure that Elmer Fudd didn't press them out. Below are my list: Sellier and Bellot Winchester Speer RWS - Swiss Company Federal And, if you have the money, Black Hills is absolutely amazing. If you want the best FMJ, Black Hills is probably it. Dunno if you will notice a difference, but...I do believe that Black Hills Ammunition is a military supplier. Could be wrong on that, but the ammo is way above military grade. |

Are you talking generic hollow point from them or what? 124 and 147 Gold Dots are available at ammo to go. Thanks I'll check those gold dots out. Now to everyone else reading For range practice I've been told any 9mm luger factory rounds will do fine. For self defense if you really wanna stop a boar with 9mm DRT rounds are pricey but grossly devistating on impact. A few blackwater reps live by those DRT 9mm or .40/45acp. I haven't purchased any of the compressed powder core rounds yet but I am soon as I can justify at least buying 200 9mm cheapest I seen them lately is CTD 9mm, DRT, Hollow Point, 124 Grain, 50 Round Box Fine Powder Core, Lead Free, Accurate and Deadly $45 9mm, DRT, Hollow Point, 85 Grain, 50 Rounds per Box Hollow Point, Copper Jacket, Powder Core $30 |

Quoted for the truth - I use Cor-bon DPX 9mm and like it - any of the quality loads in the "best choices" section will do you just fine for self defense. As for training ammo, I shoot whatever's cheapest. Mike |

Practice Ammo:
*Cases- any range pick up or fired brass, FLR, ream primer pocket on first reloading, expand *Primer- any small pistol, CCI, WSP, FedSP *Bullet- Remington Midway bulk 124 FMJ RN by 2000 boxes cheapest or Natchez or elsewhere *Powder- Bullseye Pistol Powder ***4.5 grains for 1150fps about like European 9mm124grain loadingsi.e., zippy (MAX with Bullseye). ***4.0 grains for 1025fps that is a nice mild reliable loading. Feels like WalMart 115 WW FMJ. ***3.5 grains for 900fps about like the mildest 9mm that will usually function a Glock M17 (nice for oldtimers, girls, girliemen, and kids)(MINIMUM loading for 9mm124FMJ. If too slow, take it up a 0.1 or 0.2 grains.) *Seat- 1.13" |

For range shoot whatever you can find the cheepest.
For the LE/MIL guys they shoot whatever they are issued, so they don't really have to worry about $$$. I know this because a Federal LE agency came in recently to do their quals and they were all shooting Federal HST's. Talk about some serious cash, especially when they shot about 3000 rounds of it. |
