You might want to look harder at your defensive selection. All JHP's are not created equal. If that is a Gold Saber, it's good, but if it's a regular Remington you might want to upgrade. Gold Dots are loved, but personally, if I can find them, I would exclusively carry Rangers or HSTs. They are head and shoulders above every other 9mm made.

Thank you for your comment. I generally carry my p3at and have switched back to corbon hollow points. May I ask why you think that the rangers and hsts are better than the rest? Is it bullet speed, bullet design or the quality of components?

Turned 21 on like 5 days ago and made a special trip to a retailer About an hour from where I live. I was going to buy the FN-Five Seven for my first gun (will still buy it later) but decided on the Xd m 9mm. I got it for $599 ... This is probably the best investment or ever made!

@jsv650675 i carry xdm 5.25 everyday i still thinking about which ammo is best ..how about 9mm Federal Hydra-Shok JHP 124 Grain ?

[MyLastSiege]

@KarelYalek lower risk of over penetration

[mikematij2]

you dont have to press on the slide lock to release the slide.

For me. I would have to go with Hornady XTP 155 hollow point. This set-up has never let me down.

[elcabrachupas]

@KarelYalek the 9mm bullet goes subsonic as some of it's advantages , what it lacks is kinetic energy or bluntly said , punch, the 40mm has punch but it's a slower projectile as well as the 45. So by using the JHP you will gain some kinetic energy out of the shot also let's say you are at home and you are in a defensive situation using a regular FMJ that shot could go through your house and hit something on the next house or idk, with the JHP you minimize that since the shot will expand.

@jsv650675

why do you use hollow points

[HecklerKoch45c]

@jsv650675 Rangers are superior. They expand more reliably and expand much bigger as well. Not only that, you can get the ranger "T-Series" and they have some pretty nasty talons on the copper when they expand that just destroy the target. I personally do not like golden sabres. In my tests, they have not expanded reliably nor have they expanded as much as I would have liked them to. IMO carrying golden sabres is about as effective as carrying FMJ.

@Averitt13 Hell yea it is take your Xd m 9mm to the bank and that $599 will turn into 100k or more

@jsv650675 just found you video good job. i like the hornady taps round myself i carry every day its a .40 cal. xd 4 inch service model. i like the knock down facter the 40s has.
