What kind of gun does a 147 grain 9mm use?

For the testing of this 147 grain 9mm load, I shot 5-shot groups through my Glock 17 (with and without Osprey 45 Suppressor), and my Canik TP9SFX (see this article for full review of that pistol ). I shot 5-shot groups for each pistol (multiple sets) until things settled down and “round groups” were observed.

Which is better 115 gr or 147 gr 9mm?

Same with the 9mm trying to reach a PF of 125. With a 115 gr bullet, the velocity needs to be 1087 fps whereas with a 147 gr bullet the velocity is just 850 fps. Again, a lot less felt recoil even though the momentum is the same.

Is the 9mm 147gr an ultimate reloader?

9mm 147gr Subsonic “Magic Load”, Hard to Believe! – Ultimate Reloader 9mm 147gr Subsonic “Magic Load”, Hard to Believe! Now that I have suppressors, I’m very interested in subsonic loads for pistols and rifles that I shoot frequently.

Which is heavier 115gr or 147gr Glock?

I like the heavier ones. 124s can be loaded to minor PF, function any 9mm Glock reliably, and still be subsonic…and the recoil is milder than factory 115gr ammo. Same goes for 147s, but the reduction in recoil is more extreme. 115gn: higher velocity so JHPs open more reliably. Often considered more accurate. 124gn: traditional weight.
