Thanks for the info, really interesting, I think I saw some federal ammo at the shop, from the range I go, Im gonna give them a try, I guess while the Local Speer dealer gets some Gold Dots, you see here in CR, Local dealers need to get licences to import Ammunition, and in this difficult times some are hard to get, but thanks for the answer, have a good rest of the week.

S Vega — In both of the full size 9mm M&P’s I have used (including the test gun, obviously), best accuracy was achieved with hotter +p ammunition than standard pressure ammo. I’m not a big fan of the XTP from Hornady as it tends to be a deep penetrating round that has little or no expansion. For 9mm, my recommendations are the 124gr +p HST from Federal, the 124gr +p Gold Dot from Speer, or the 127gr +p+ Ranger from Winchester.

Hey Todd wondering after all this rounds,(53.000)!!…. any favorites precision and feeding wise? I hear about the Gold Dot lots of good things but the Local dealer is out of stock,This question will be more for the Carry Gun, where you need Stopping Power but you want the best. I Personally carry 11 rounds of Hornady 9mm Luger 124gr JHP/XTP on my MP COMPACT, just added some nice Bowie Tactical Ameriglo Night sights, and you know I need to tell somebody, , Thanks for listening.
