Winchester PDX1 9mm +P

Winchester's self defense ammo may not get the love that companies like Federal, Hornady, etc get. But is it worth while? We'll take a look at that here.

FYI fn509 compact is 3.7 inch out of my fn509 tactical 4.5 inch this round did 1250 FPS

[@Narsuitus]

Winchester, Remington, Federal, Hornady, and Speer all make 147 grain JHP ammo that I like and use. Which I buy depends on which is available.

[@shaneiveson517]

I use these and gold dot I prefer the pdx1 just my preference tho

Thanks

[@eddiearchuleta615]

I guess the old boxes are pdx1 now they just say defender

[@arguy3297]

Yeah PDX1 had the same exact box and picture

[@keithtate1241]

Appreciate the information.

[@glization1]

No problem. Thanks for commenting.

[@jgranger2002]

Not as good as hst. Better than Hornady.

[@glization1]

I haven’t tested the 9mm Hornady but I would take the Federal over this round.

@@glization1 why this penetrates more than HST.

[@jesseb8015]

@@nelsonr1467 this isn’t a bad round by any means. But at a certain point more penetration just means that the bullet is passing through the target with a lot of extra energy. You just reach a certain point where the extra isn’t likely to get you more effect on the target.
But once again just because I like another round more than this one doesn’t mean it’s bad.

@@nelsonr1467 shot placement is what really matters as long as you have enough penetration to make it through major organs. 12 inches is generally considered the bare minimum with 14-16 being ideal according to the FBI.
