I cannot find any of this brand anywhere- is there a big backorder or shortage?

I have been looking for some too, it is hard to find right now. There is always some listed on Gunbroker, but the price is a little high. And then there is this place, there website said its in stock but I want to call them next week and make sure.

One can occasionally find it at Ammunition to Go. It doesn't last long. Put in RA9TA in the search bar...
when it shows up at SGAmmo, it also disappears in a hurry.
It is an OK load, but I wouldn't bust my butt trying to find some, given the plethora of other outstanding options currently available.

It definately beats the hell out of our guns, and I haven't seem much in the way of testing that demonstrates that it is superior to the RTs in 124gr+P or standard pressure 147gr.
It's the only 9mm ammunition I've ever seen go through body armor.

I have also been looking at the Winchester Ranger 124 +P (RA9124TP) and the Speer Gold Dot 124 +P (53617) because they are easier to find. The Speer GD is real easy to find, a lot of places keep it in stock.

It must have been a pretty old vest with a lot of deterioration. My agency uses 127gr+P+ and the old vests that we shoot up have stopped this load just fine.
The 127 +P+ has indeed perforated some poorly designed PE laminate vests in our testing--however, it does not defeat vests that meet the FBI Body Armor Protocol. Hmmm--maybe purchasing FBI compliant vests is a wise move...
