147 Grain Gold Dot Ammo - good price - Questions
« on: April 07, 2010, 02:48:58 PM »
Do R9s eat the 147 as well as they do the 115?   I saw the 147 LE version for $269 per 500 on ammotogo.com and want to buy some if they will work in the PUP...

Some folks here on the Forum like the 147 grains.  You should try a couple boxes and see how your R9 likes them and go from there.

They work fine in my pup. Go ahead and get them and if your pup doesn't like them you can GIVE them to me (I'll even cover the shipping)  ;D

Bubbacloud:

MY R9 doesn't have any problem with the 147-grain bullets. Recently, though, I've changed to 124-grain loads since the P7 I often carrry as a primary was designed around the 115/124-grain NATO round and 147-grain fodder can occasionally throw off the timing of its gas-delayed blowback recoil system.

I shot a box and a half through them yesterday and had my first ever fail to feed in one of my R9s.  I did not try in the second one, cause I didn't feel like cleaning them both.

Interestingly, my Kahr PM9, which has also never failed (before yesterday) had a couple problems as well.  I bought 1,000 of these because they should work fine in my Springfield EMP and XD9, but I think I will stick to the smaller stuff in the smaller framed guns....
