9 mm 124 gr testing

Has anyone did any tests on Buffalo Bore 9mm?

These are not in common use by LE agencies, so not much testing has been done on them.

The first thing I'd want to see on those is a pressure test.

I bought several of the BB loads, and after shooting them and looking at the cases after, I wonder what some of the pressures really are. Their "standard pressure" .38 special loads kicked significantly more than any of the +P's I've ever shot, regardless of brand or bullet weight, and I've shot thousands.

Agreed.I think some independant pressure testing would be a good idea.

I don't know if it has been brought up yet but I'd like to see some testing on Winchester's 124gr +P PDX1.

RA9BA is S9MMPDB (PDX1) AFAIK: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=26461

Doc has tested that load, it's posted in this forum.

DOC, I am currently carring an M&P40 but have always favored and shot better with my 17. If you were to be doing consistent work around vehicles would you favor the GD 124+p or the HST 147?

The M&P may just be the best LE service pistol produced to date. I was involved in a M&P40 trial at a large agency where four M&P40's fired 7000 rounds each in 1 week without any significant issues. Up to this point, we have not seen any major problems with M&P40/45's--they just keep steadily improving. Some M&P9's exhibit accuracy issues at ranges beyond 15 yds--hopefully S&W will soon rectify this inconsistency. The Apex duty kits can offer a substantial improvement for those who object to the OEM M&P trigger feel. An M&P40 w/ambi safety and Apex duty kit will be the service pistol I'll pick if I ever go back to uniformed LE patrol duties again.

Currently I am using 9 mm 147 gr HST, but I would be equally happy with the 124 gr +P Gold Dot; whichever I get for free, I'll carry...
