all winchester ranger is good ammo...instead of getting the +p stuff look instead for the stuff marked T
I got a ton of this in 124gr with the real Hydrashoks with the point in the center. I saw tests studies showing 1 shot stops of 92% compared to the Winchester of 90%. Anyone have any experience? When shooting them they recoil just like a 40s&w, pretty potent I think.

Be careful with +p+ ammo.
This ammo is above accepted chamber pressures. No manufacturer I know certifies their firearm for the higher pressures. Sure, SOME firearms are built strong enough. Many are not. Rather than trying to get more out of a caliber, just upgrade to a larger caliber.
Mike,
I've looking everywhere for the Winchester Ranger 127gr.+p+ and can't find it.Any idea where to find some?
Thanks ,
Dennis
Paul,
Want to sell some of this ammo?

For the MK9, check out the Speer Gold Dot short barrel. It's a 124 grain +P that's specifically designed for short barrels. So far it's been very reliable in my PM9, whereas I had quite a few misfeeds with Federal. (I haven't done any ballistics testing, but Speer is usually good stuff....)
Regular old 124 gr +P will probably work fine, too. It's also a lot cheaper to buy when you can find it in 50 round boxes.
I'm not really sure what the deal is with the GDHP SB stuff... some of it seems like a marketing gimmick, but who knows.

Supposedly it expands better at lower velocities. The hollow point cavity appears to be a tiny bit deeper and wider than that the "regular" 9mm Gold Dot.
