  I have been lurking here for awhile. I ordered a new R9S this week. It should arrive in a few days, can't wait. While I was at the gun store arranging for the transfer I picked up a box of Gold Dots. When  I got home I noticed they were 147 grain rather than 115 or 124. Can anyone tell me if they will work well in the R9? Thanks in advance.

Thay should work fine.  I use 147gr HPs in mine.  That's my favority 9mm ammo.

grandpa,

Welcome to the forum...

You will have to find out on the grain wt. when you fire er up..

I have always had good luck all the way around with 115s,in any brand..

Just my experience,but others do the 124 or the 147s with no problems!!

Please let us know your results..

Once again,
Welcome...

Grandpa:

And a welcome from me as well!  I hope you are as satisfied with your new R9 as I have been with mine for th past 3 years and 5 months.

As for the ammunition, I've begun regularly carrying 147-grain Remington Golden Sabers in my R9, which has shown no difficulty in digesting the "heavyweights."  When it comes to self-defense ammunition, I've gradually come around to the "big-and-slow" school.
