Best incapacitating 9mm Ammo?

Cat-O-Matic · January 19th, 2008, 01:39 PM

With the correct shot placement and plenty of practice, practice, and more practice(something I learned the hard way in the Marines) and please don't tell me they would all perform the same on a BG--What ammo incapacitates the Best?

What ammo has the best street record?

P.S. I listed the Corbon Dpx ammo's weight wrong--It should be 115 gr.

Far more important is where you put the round. But for what it's worth, I like speer gold dot 147 gr because the deep expansion cavity doesn't get as clogged up with clothes and stuff as the lighter rounds. This gives more consistent pentration and expansion. (HP rounds that don't expand tend to overpenetrate, which of course means there is a lot of energy that went through the BG instead of doing it's work on him. Thats my $.02.

I like Speer Gold Dot for my .40 and .380,...don't own a regular 9mm

Shoot placement, shoot placement, shoot placement!!!

If you don't hit, or just wing someone, with the best ammo in the world you will not incapacitate anyone.

+1 I carry either Hydroshok 147gr or speer gold dot in my Glock 19 without a problem.

Can't say for sure... never shot anybody.

That said, I tend to carry Speer Gold Dots 124gr +P in my XD-9. They perform well in my pistols, have a good reputation and can be purchased at a reasonable price.

Federal HST 124 has the best test and street reports that I have found thus far.

I carry gold dots

I go with the Gold Dots, if or the Rangers. I wouldnt place to much value on the +p when choosing for the G19. (excellent choice BTW)
