MK9 carry ammo

[dirksterG30]

I just got an MK9 and am in the process of breaking it in. It's a great little gun, and once I break it in and shoot 100+rounds of carry ammo through it, it will be my warm-weather carry gun. For my fellow MK9 owners, What JHP ammo do you carry? Is there ammo you have found that doesn't work?

I figure a gun ought to feed anything I throw at it, so I just keep working with it until it does. It would just bug the living tar out of me to feel I had to pick ammo to work around a gun's finicky tastes.

Mine runs anything, but understand that standard 147 gr. 9mm was designed for service length barrels and may not perform well out of a micro pistol. Many feel that 115 gr. is what is needed. Others think that is too light to be effective.

What you probably don't want is a JHP that won't reach a velocity to produce reliable expansion. That may mean leaving 147 behind. I'm currently carrying 124 gr. GDHP +P or 125 gr. Corbon +P in my MK9.
