In other words it's still not a bad choice. Although it is a +P+ round, I've never seen it's velocities chrono'd by someone above the low 1200's; a "true" (if you will) +P+ 9mm 115gr should hit the 1300's. Nonetheless, this round has a pretty good track record.
For the record, my load of choice is the HST 147gr +P. I do, however, have a few new(er) production boxes of 9BPLE on hand.
I would disagree. I think it is a bad choice. It may not have been bad 20 years ago but it is now. If it was that or ball as your only option, then sure I guess. That's probably not the case though.
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
