@dennistv598 I've carried 124gr HST in all of my pistols and I get reliable consistent expansion in all of them. Expansion is gonna be velocity dependant so for short barrel id definitely go 124 gr as the 124 will have higher velocity and more energy. You can test expansion in water jugs, or homemade balistics gel is super easy to make (there are videos all over youtube) Buy a box of each and test them on whatever medium you prefer, the 124 will give you super reliable performance, and if it's still not expanding enough you can try the plus p in 124 (I've never felt the need to go plus P, as the standard pressure gives me exactly what I'm looking for.)
No guess needed as the answer is provided in the video. I have the 150gr HST 9mm ammo. Great expansion. I’d have to believe the 147gr ammo would do the same.
124 grain HST or 147 grain HST for a compact 3.8 inch barrel?

@@vegeta420z6 I just shot some HST 125 grain it went really good
Something for the big boys!
