I was looking for some ammo for my resurrected J-frame revolver (why did I stick that gun in the safe and forget about it??), and ended up looking over few different calibers over at Lucky Gunner.

One round really stood out...the new-to-me Federal HST 124 grain 9mm +P ammo. With .65" expanded diameter and almost 18" of penetration, we are talking about .357-level SD performance. So, of course, I had to buy a couple of boxes and see how they did in my pistols.

It will come as a surprise to no one here that my MK9 gobbled it up without complaint. Yeah, the rounds were a little snappier than others I've used, but overall very manageable. This will be my new carry ammo in 9mm, and I highly recommend it.
