Any of you guys use it? I picked up a box of 124 grain 9mm today at wally world. I needed something for my K9 and that was all they had. In fact I had to go to three different stores to find any 9mm period.
I was just wondering what if any experiences anyone may have had regarding feeding or extraction.

I have some in my 38 special, sorry i know that won't help you! I like the round but wouldn't let it stop me from trying other brands.

Best feeding ammo so far in my PM9, I always recommend it to people looking for something to try in their Kahr's.

I run the 147gr version in my p9 and now in my new tp9. Love the round. Given another recent thread here regarding the velocity using the 147 in a 3" barrel, I would have some concerns running it in anything shorter than a 3.5-4" barrel. But you are more than fine running the +p load.

I've been using it for about a year or more. I like it alot because I can shoot it pretty fast, it's accurate, low flash and I haven't had any problems, nor do I expect any. I like it and Hornady TAP, both for the same reasons. The Winchester may be a bit hotter.

PBX-1 is the ammo that the FBI among other agencies selected as their default ammo. Expansion and penetration have proven to be excellent. I use it in all my handguns for self defense. Good Stuff!

I have a S&W 640-1 357 2.125" revolver.
Shot a boat load of various 125 gr 357 mag ammo
looking for that ultimate self defense round from a snub nose.

The hot 1450 fps stuff is reduced to 1200 fps cannon fire from a 2" barrel.
I only found classic medium velocity Golden Sabers (1220 fps 4" / 1100 fps 2")
and Winchester PDX1 really manageable for me to shoot.
The PDX1 is rated at 1325 fps from a 4" barrel, runs fast burn low flash gunpowder and uses Ranger Bonded like HP bullets.
I'm guessing I'm getting something like ~1150 fps super sonic speed from my 2" barrel?

Winchester Supreme Elite® Bonded PDX1™ - .357 Magnum 125gr
It's like the ultimate high tech 357 mag snubbie round in my estimation.
