Unfortunately my experience at Walley World is more like you could ask a Jerk, but it rhymes with clerk. And they just rearranged the entire store, new floor tile, moved the
pharmacy, anything I could find before, I can't find now.  :'(

The Federal 95gr JSP ammo arrived today, I will give it a try in the next day or two.

They did the same with ours.  Made the isles wider, I do like that; things to look for, I agree; where is it!    ;D

Sounds good, John.  Think I know the answer already.    ;D

The thing I find interesting is there are two other stores near me, one in Thomasville and one in Randelman and neither of those stores even have tile on the floor (only in the clothing sections) and the Asheboro store had tile throughout the store that looked fine, and they replaced it all. :o

I went out today in the extreme heat, exposing myself to possible grave bodily injury, to be able to post my findings. ;D
  I fired 25 rounds of the Federal 95gr JSPs through the pup, function was flawless. I did not notice any keyholing, and recoil seemed to be less than the 115gr. Hornady Critical Defense I fired just before.  I also put 15 rounds of the 95gr Federal through the new Kahr PM9, and had no issues.

Very good, John.  Thanks for your findings.  Another option in ammo.    :)

I think it would be a very good range ammo, and being $12.69 for a 50 round box would make it an economical choice, and maybe a little easer on the pup and the master.
  I would want to put a couple of boxes through any gun before I would call it 100% reliable.
  The next time I shoot some of these 95gr Federals I will shoot some gallon jugs filled with water, and see if I can recover a slug to check the expansion characteristics.
