147 Grain HSTs and Bladetech Holster for the G19

[ffhounddog]

I just got back from my parents place and went to a police gun shop there my brother uses. They had Federal HST and I had (not really) to get 250 rounds of 147Grain HST. Does anyone else carry this round? My previous carry was Fiocchi 147 grain JHPs that have Hordany XTP bullets. Anyone have an Idea which is better? I also have WWB 147 grain JHPs and according to one friend the bullet is the same as Ranger bullets. To me they just work out of my pistols.

SD Rounds on hand w/price All 50 round boxes. Total SD ammo 700.

WWB 147 Grain JHP-$12.99
ATK Fed 147 Grain HST/JHP-12.95 (LE Price)
Fiocchi 147 Grain XTP/JHP-11.00 (Price from a friend selling all his 9mms for 40SW due to new job with Border Patrol)
Remmington 124 Grain 3 gen JHP-11.00 (not golden sabre)

Carry Glock 26 or Glock 19 my only pistols its all I need. Until the wife lets me buy a Glock 34:). Just had many Glock 19 mags for the 26 so it was a no brainer for a Glock 19 due to having mags on hand.

Also got a Bladetech Holster and Mag combo for $20 carry on belt with a paddle that can be added on. Good holster I hope so. This is more for IDPA/GSSF

I am not LE but I got the discount because I am military and I have a CCL. I guess that works sorry for the long post.

1) HST's...I don't have experience with 147 grainers, but I do have a stash of 124 +p's for my Beretta 9000 (3.5" barrel)

2) WWB 147 grainers...this is my favorite 9mm load; I went to a lighter round due to the shorter barrel in the Beretta; the Beretta has also had a series of failures-to-extract with Winchester brass (something to do with the milling of the rim and leaving rounded edges that hinder extraction in my Beretta)

3) I'm not a big Glock fan due to grip angle issues since Ishot so long with guns that have the 'Browning' grip angle...but with the grip that was reengineered on the Gen IV frame, I may take another look at a G-19

***pic is not my personal gun, but shows the adapter that allows use of Beretta 92/M-9 mags in the 9000 frame...a nifty idea***

I'm a "light and fast" type ( 100 gr +P CorBon Powerball and/or Ranger 115 gr +P+ whenever I can find them ), but I can say you won't go wrong with the HST's ..... YMMV.

They have worked very well for my Bureau (We carry G17 and G19 for primary, with G26 most popular for backup off duty)

How do you like the holster? I am thinking about buying one.
