I've fired alot of 9mm rounds over the years, and the gold standard for me is the Arsenal Molds .358-130-RF (recovered 9mm lead bullet in the above picture I posted) over 3.8 grains Hodgdon HP-38 with a Winchester primer. It clocks a very consistent 1020 fps from my Glock 19's, is easy to shoot, and pinpoint accurate in all my pistols. Especially my three S&W SD9's, of which I have around $600.00 in all three. I fired some of them today and was reminded of this fact. This round is basically the 9mm equivalent of the .38 Special FBI load and I have no doubt it will perform as well as a 9mm possibly can on any opponent, four feet or two feet. In public, I carry the 115 grain Hornady XTP at 1168 fps because it is less likely to go through walls and is still quite accurate.
