Not exactly Critical Defense. Hit the watch on YouTube function. I realize that you have determined that these rounds have 100% functionally in your sidearm, yet there might be others that will equal that performance? Have you tried the Win Defend or Fed HST? There is no right or wrong, this is a quest. Like the search for the GRAIL! While my Hellcat has eaten everything I feed it, the experience wasn't the same for Thing 1 and Her Spouse on our range day. Thing 1s spouse couldn't get any 115 grain rounds (including Hornady CD) to function 100% from his customized SIG. Needless to say that sidearm has been sold off. But I'm a NATO kind of guy so 124 or more trips my trigger. YMMV. But I'm open to 115 if there is a performance advantage?

Changed my mind…no comment.

I prefer Speer Gold Dot bullets. They perform as well as the next according to the experts and testing I have read. My own personal evaluation proved them effective as well. In 9mm I use 115 grain in the warmer months and 124 when it is cooler. They cycle perfectly in my P365 and so far have proven to give effective penetration and expansion. I also use Gold Dots in my RO Compact; 185 grain in warmer months and 230 when cooler. But of course the RO Compact is not a 3” 9mm. The .38 Super is a solid performer with the 147 grain Gold Dots too. Again, just a little additional info.
