147 grain 9mm?

[Archie1911]

What are the pros and cons or 147 grain vs the 124 grain SD rounds?

Probably gonna get better penetration from the heavier bullet. Which could be a major factor depending on the time of year. Such as winter time when a culprit may have on thick multiple layers of clothing

147 suppress better

It’s kind of like a really slow 40 but with a little smaller diameter.

I shoot 147 both suppressed and 147 HST in my carry guns.

The 147 doesn't spook my wife as much when firing. She says it kicks slower.

Recoil impulse is different. Energy is basically a wash. Velocity is a little slower on the '47s (which translates to recoil impulse) and makes it subsonic in most examples meaning better for suppressed operation.

The only real reason I use 147 is for use with a can. I've found most of my 9m 'like' 124gr better, and lately I've even been shooting more 115 when I'm just plinking.

I like the 147 HST in my suppressed carbine, but shoot the 124 HST unsuppressed, because it has a little more energy.

Either way, HST for the win.
