The 9mm Luger<\/a> is everyone\u2019s caliber. The 9mm is a powerful number well-suited to personal defense. The 9mm easily jolts 115 to 124-grain bullets to well over 1,100 fps. +P or higher-pressure loadings may reach 1,300 fps. The 9mm is not quite as good as some of its fans think, but it is a better cartridge than most of its detractors would have you believe. It has evolved into perhaps the ideal personal-defense caliber for most users.<\/p>\n

The 9mm uses a .355-inch bullet. It cannot do the work of larger calibers, but it certainly outclasses smaller calibers. The 9mm offers all of the recoil most shooters are willing to master. A number of very experienced shooters choose the 9mm based on excellent control, good practical accuracy, and a good reserve of ammunition. A compact 9mm Luger handgun<\/a> is easily controlled with practice. A compact .40 S&W handgun<\/a> or .38 Special<\/a> small-frame revolver may be a bear to handle. Some of the finest handguns in the world are chambered for the 9mm Luger cartridge.<\/p>\n

Many affordable handguns are chambered in 9mm as well. It is important to choose a loading with a good balance of expansion and penetration. The 9mm needs good expansion to be effective, and all calibers must exhibit adequate penetration for good effect. Non-expanding FMJ loads have proven ineffective. The search was on for five good 9mm defensive loads.<\/p>\n
