So I recently picked up a Ruger SR9c as my new carry gun. I am using a Comp-tac M-tac style IWB holster.
As a side note I really like the leather of the comp-tac but would have preferred metal clips instead of plastic like I have on my crossbreed. Will give a review of the comp-tac in several weeks once I feel I have given it ample time to review properly.
As to finding the ammo I liked best for my carry I first started by asking other NES members what their Ruger preferred. After taking those recommendations into consideration I purchased the following types:
Remington Golden Saber 124 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point
Winchester Bonded PDX1 +P 124 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point
Federal Premium 147 Grain Hydro-Shok Jacketed Hollow Point
Federal Premium 124 Grain Hydro-Shok Jacketed Hollow Point
I went over to the club and set up my targets to see what results I got for myself.
Here is the overview:
I started with just loading up some standard rounds to warm her up:
Looks fine to me now lets get to the expensive stuff.
Next I went to the Golden Saber:
Shoot great, a little flame from the barrel in fact, none of the other loads seems to do that. Good grouping felt fine.
Next up the Winchester:
This was my least favorite out of all of them. Seems like I got a decent grouping but did not like the flyers I saw. Again no problems feeding and felt good when shooting.
Then i went to the first of 2 Federal choices the 124 grain:
I really liked the Federal - again no problems feeding. Just felt comfortable bringing back my point of aim after each shoot.
Last was the Federal 147 grain:
This ended up being my round of choice. No problems feeding, and I felt it shoot the best out of all the ammo I had reviewed.
I was very happy that the Ruger had no problems eating up each type I feed it. None of them seemed to cause any notable difference in recoil. I would feel confident carrying each one of these but based upon my own experience I am going with the Federal Hydra-Shok 147 grain, with the Golden Sabers as my secondary choice.
