Thanks for posting the video.I use the older Rem. Golden Saber +P.

Thanks for watching. Based on only this very small sample, I'd say you should stick with the old school Golden Saber.

Their is a you tube video of a student at a Shoalin Temple attempting to snatch that bullet from his Masters hand.

Good penetration, unreliable expansion. One would think Remington would have designed a reliable 9 Luger JHP by now.

that's disappointing, I just loaded up a hundred of these, although 147gr, and they are super accurate. I don't know if they are new or old, but they have the larger diameter driving band at the base that makes a weird bulge in the case, and they are very long. but they feed reliably and shoot super straight.
