WhAt y’all think the best standard velocity non +P 115gr 9mm premium HPs are? Gold Dot 115 JHP standard velocity??
If it’s gotta be 115gr I’m thinking the old soft-lead core, Teflon-jacketed Federal Nyclad stuff from the 90’s would be pretty good because it’ll deform just sitting inside the hallowed halls of a warm and pulsating vagina.
But it you’re not able to find that stuff, I’d try (of all things, right?) the Silvertip. It did pretty well in Miami (despite the hoopla), and has served The Lone Ranger well
It’s your weight requirement that’s the real problem. If you went with the 105gr Federal Guard Dog (formerly the Artist known as EFMJ or Expanding Full Metal Jacket), you’d have a round which will ALWAYS open up like the propeller on your uncle’s Ted Williams 8hp outboard. Whether it hits glass, plywood, heavy clothing, or bubba’s bare ass as he’s running out the door, it always opens and tears shit up.
But if you don’t like the fact that it doesn’t look normal, or weighs too little, try the:
Remington Golden Saber in 124gr. They’re slightly better than Gold Dots, open pretty well in adverse conditions, and tend to stop within a 12 inch “pulped red squishy zone” that roughly equals the typical imagined target (wink, wink).
Of course there are the obligatory Gold Dot and Hydra-Shok options, but let’s not be boring, right?
Oh, and as a final thought, I’m assuming your only reason for not going +p or +p+ is because the firearm isn’t rated for it, or some other arcane reason, since EVERYTHING is better with more BOOM!!!!
