Yes the 9mm Nato is pretty hot and yes your Browning should handle it OK.

I remember back when the government had the HP White labs test all guns, probably in an effort to ban them, almost none of the guns passed the tests. The Browning was an exception. It passed with no trouble.

I can remember it was fairly common for knowledgeable gun writers to say the Brownings used soft metal. Well soft metal must have been just right.

Thanks! :)

I had read a bit about it on the Internet but wasn't sure.

I was a bit hasty when I bought it and panicked like a lot of people. It was the only 9mm left and I thought that I was buying cheap target ammo. It is FMJ. Interesting that it clearly states on the box — not for resale. I don't think that that means me. I bought it at the local Sporting Good store.

I wanted more 9mm to test our new LC9. I later found out the LC9 is not rated for it. We have other 9mm but I would like to stock up. Both the LC9 and the high power are 9mm. A bonus!

Anyway, maybe I lucked out because it was cheap and might come in handy if and when it is needed.
