Cor Bon DPX 115gr +P My M&P eats all the DPX I feed it with no problems. My wallet however doesn't like me using it at the range but I feel its very important to run at least 150 rounds of your carry ammo through your gun to make sure there are no issues.

What 9mm ammo do you use?
Hornady Critical Defense 115g during the summer. I use FMJ in the winter.

For SD I carry these in my XD-9 service: federal hst 147gr. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1356918497.595459.jpg
Had great accuracy results. Just me but I prefer the heaviest & fastest bullet that group well. Couldn't find any +P in this round. I also carry the Speer gold dot 124gr
For range I use either the federal or WWB 115gr fmj

124 gr Gold Dot hp's. They run through my CZ P-01 just fine.

right now, I'm using Hornady 147gr XTP. I will be trying gold dot when I can find some. All my 9mm guns seem to like the Hornady stuff. I will fire a lot of gold dots before I switch.

From what I read the 147 Grain HST +P does not perform well, the standard pressure penetrates deeper and does better.
It seems that the +P expands to quick and acts like a parachute stopping the bullet to quick before it penetrates deep enough.
Due to this the 147 grain HST +P round is not popular. However the standard pressure 147 grain HST does what it should and is
hugely popular and gives great results.

Very cool. I appreciate that info. Some of the expanded test bullets I've seen are crazy looking!
