The problem with this article and his issue with the 9mm is that most gangbangers are using the cheap walmart ammo. there is a huge difference between 115gn FMJ CCI blazer and Federal Hydrashock 147grn JHPs. in a 9mm.

Flame away

No flames from me. That’s EXACTLY how I’ve justified purchasing my 9mm’s.

No flames here, but you can also buy the Winchester 147 gr JHP at Wallyworld for about $15.00 for 50 rds.

I agree. FMJ on a 9mm round is for range practice only. Useless as a self defense round. JHP +P is the only way to rock and roll when carrying a 9mm outside amongst the Zombies.

No flames from me. This article is basically the same "45's rule/9mm's drool" article that we have all seen before, although the perspective of the morgue is a new twist. And to your point, you are exactly right ... 9mm +p or +p+ JHPs by CorBon or Federal are a world away from standard 9mm ball in terms of terminal ballistics.

And as always the moral of the story is, "shoot what you are most comfortable and skilled with."
