    Who makes the hottest factory 9mm ammo

    I am running my new Sig Spectre Comp gun and need some very hot ammo to get the most out of the comp?
    I am looking for 115 or 124 ball HOT ammo to buy.

    Any feedback appreciated.

    The Winchester M1152 (https://winchester.com/Products/Ammu...uty-/WIN9MHSCL) is basically a +P load and not obscenely expensive. The 124 grain NATO load that Winchester loads is also basically a +P. I shoot a lot of both, mostly because the recoil profile is close the +P HSTs I carry. I have noticed my compensated G19 is intermittently reliable with cheap plinking loads like LAX, but is 100% with these.

    Winchester 124 NATO are the hottest, non self defense oriented, factory loads I’ve ever shot.

    Of the 3 common 124 grain FMJ's it looks like Federal is loaded the hottest. I use Sellier and Bellot myself, as it's hot enough and cheaper to boot. YMMV

    We'll just load some up, PB. 20 per charge up incrementally until we're +p. I'll start staging the torture tonight!

    If you have CFE Pistol, I’ve found it works a comp without going nuts. I put it on a timer and found that my best load still had some headroom. I’m shooting Blues rather than jacketed, though.

    Otherwise, +1 for the Win NATO.

    We used to run the Federal 9BPLE in our subguns because they were, at the time, the hottest thing around. They are a +p+ round and are very hot, felt it especially when run in handguns.

    I feel like you really shouldn't need that hot of an ammo to get the desired effect from the small, single top port comp that it comes with. Yeah, you might be able to get more reduction in muzzle rise in terms of percentage with a hotter ammo, but less hot ammo will likely have less absolute muzzle rise, given that this is not some open-gun-esque multi-port comp designed for 9mm major that can capitalize on the extra gas drive of hotter ammo. For example, if you look at the testing that PMM did with some of their single port comps (which appear to have a larger port than the SIG factory one), while Remington UMC 115 gr had less reduction in muzzle rise than Winchester NATO-spec 124 gr, the UMC had less raw muzzle rise measured overall.
    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
