Favorite 9mm defense or carry round?

For 9mm, I use Remington 115 gr JHP Plus P. It feeds perfectly in all my 9mm pistols and it gives a little extra velocity without getting into Plus P Plus pressure. Here in South Florida I'm not worried about having to penetrate parkas, vest, etc. Finally, it is available at all Walmarts around here for $16.
 
Greetings David Scott,

My thought was pertaining to a single BG.

Should you run into Multiple Assailants, then shoot the most immediate threat first, and then see if any other threat still exists.

The reasoning for my "Triple Tap" technique is that we have become so used to thinking that 1 or 2 shots will immediately stop a Bad Guy.

The third shot is basically a "Failure to Stop" follow up that I combine with the initial "Double Tap" just to be sure...

After all, aren`t we supposed to "Keep Shooting" until the threat no longer exists...?

And when I say "ASSESS", I DON`T mean drop the weapon down from your sight picture, but merely look out OVER your sights and ASSESS.

IF follow up shots are necessary, you won`t have time to mess around!

As per Dept. Policy, "I don`t "Shoot to Kill"...

I, "SHOOT TO LIVE".

Tried the Pro-Load 124gr+P JHP and I'm switching over,this is one sweet cartridge and accurate as hell. No knock against Golden Sabre cause it might be my erratic shooting but I seem to shoot better with the Pro-Load. Can't judge reliability based on only 100 rds(plus my K9 would probably shoot nails without a FTF) but this round's a winner IMHO. :D

I agree with GIT_SOME.45 ... My instructor use to say, "2 in the chest and 1 in the head and even Tarzan on PCP goes down".
 
There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there on Cor-Bon Ammo. I would like to set the record straight so everyone can get this from the horses mouth instead of relying on misinformation being passed around.

The rumor that Cor-Bon had quality control problems relating to a disgruntled employee is simply not true. The are no bad lots of ammo floating around waiting for an accident to happen. While it is true that Cor-Bon had a disgruntled employee that caused them a lot of grief, that person worked in the office and did not have anything to do with the ammunition production. It is amazing how stories can get blown all out of proportion. This is a very competitive business with a very limited market and there are several ammo companies that are fighting tooth and nail for that business.

Cor-Bon has been in the ammo business for over 20 years with a stellar reputation. We back our product 100%. If anyone is not completely satisfied we will return your money. If anyone out there has any problems with Cor-Bon ammo we want to know about it and we will do everything in our power to make it right. If “FUD” has ammo that he is afraid to shoot just send it back and we will either replace it or refund his money.

Again, this is a very competitive business, please consider the source before you accept something you hear as the gospel truth.

I should add that the rumors I read were from the 80's............and Mr. Pi is an honorable man, one of us, and that many police departments use Cor-Bon ammo as their duty load.

Any gun should be tested with the intended carry ammo; my ammo has not worked in every gun it's been tried in.

All high-end ammo is good...........

Peter,

Thank you very much for your reply. We very much appreciate your taking the time to post here. I have used your product for several years and have always been very satisfied. You have put a lot of minds at ease.

While i appreciate peoples' need to add horsepower to a 9mm, I still use the old standard. Federal's 9BP 115gr. JHP.

This round was the standard by which all others were judged for many years. I do not feel the need to juice my rounds. With this round in my 226, I am plenty accurate and quick follow up shots are no problem. Plus, I don't have to worry about cracking frames, damaged springs, or FTF problems.

Call me old-fashioned, but the 9BP is good enough for me.
