A: Hi Kal! The performance you can expect from a 9mm cartridge varies according to many factors, including bullet weight. If you go with a lightweight 115 grain bullet, you can expect a supersonic muzzle velocity (and sharp, cracking report because of it), as well as lower recoil. A middleweight 124 or 130 grain bullet may or not give you a supersonic muzzle velocity, and its recoil may feel a little heavier. I'd recommend bumping it down to 147 grains if you're already accustomed to and a fan of the unusually heavy 150 grain projectile. At close range, you may have difficulty noticing significant differences in trajectory. The most important factor is what you prefer firing!

A: My apologies sir. Lucky Gunner is no longer able to ship ammunition to California, not even to FFL dealers or Licensed Ammunition Vendors in the state.

A: Thanks for reaching out Oscar! This is target shooting ammunition, and the TSJ bullet isn't designed to deliver the terminal expansion you would want for neutralizing a threat. I'm not certain which kind of animal you're concerned about protecting yourself against. If you're only looking for ammo for defense against the two-legged variety of threat, then either 9mm or 9mm +P will work well for that job. A +P round's added muzzle energy comes at the expense of greater recoil, but its advantage isn't all that significant overall. What's most important is that you pick ammo with a jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet. In my personal opinion, this is the best police grade 9mm self-defense ammo we currently have in stock: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-speer-gold-dot-50-rounds

A: Thanks for reaching out Paul! This round's TSJ bullet delivers virtually identical terminal performance as a standard FMJ projectile. That is to say it will penetrate soft tissue deeply enough to inflict a grave injury, but it will not fragment, expand or otherwise deform in any significant way.

A: Thanks for reaching out Rick! To be sure: 9mm and 9mm Luger are the same cartridge – just two different names for the same exact thing. If you have a handgun chambered for 9mm, then you can fire this ammo.

A: Excellent choice for a suppressor sir! The coated bullet won't deposit lead residue in your baffles, and the subsonic MV will make your can that much more effective.

A: Thanks for reaching out Roger! The Total Synthetic Jacket bullet is going to deliver terminal ballistics equivalent to those of an FMJ – which is to say that it won't expand as it penetrates soft tissue. No one's going to be happy if they get shot with a TSJ, but any jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet is poised to neutralize a threat more effectively than this round's bullet.
We have a lot of good 9mm ammo for self-defense in stock right now:

A: Hey Mark! My personal experience with a couple of boxes of the .45ACP caliber run through a Springfield 1911 is that they are cleaner than a standard copper-nickel plated lead projectile. Thanks!
