What's the best 9mm defensive round?

[Sta. 18]

?

Thats a pretty difficult question to answer. I'd have to say the 147gr Winchester Ranger T would be right there at the top.

[G33]

Agree...and a 124 gr. +P GoldDot.

And they have different bullet weighs and velocities, I carry their 115 gr. which moves out at 1425 fps. out of my G17, and they also have a 125 gr. which is slightly slower and will penetrate deeper.
THey also have a 100 gr. and a 90 gr. which have even higher velocities. Just pick from that based on if you like more velocity/expansion or you'd like deeper penetration.

One that you can hit where your aiming at!;)

[MPG1737]

There are too many variables to truly declare one round the best. The general concensus is that +P is the way to go. I personally keep my G-17 loaded with 135 gr +P Triton High Vel. You certainly can't go wrong with 124 gr +P Gold Dots, or 115 gr +P corbon. If you can get your hands on some, the Winchester Ranger T bullets are probably the current top performers.

[MPG1737]

And I second what Big Time said. You just have to hit that target!

.......at 1425 f.p.s. from a G17 with almost 500ft lbs. of energy, excellent expansion and penetration!!!!It's as good as .357SIG but with less recoil, muzzle blast and rise!!!!And 18 rds. in the weapon.

1. 147gr RangerT

2. 147gr Golddot

3. 124+P RangerT or Golddots





IMHO,
