Recoil energy: Comparing 9mm 115gr vs. 124gr vs. 147gr
Jan 10, 2010 · For me, 147 gr at 960-980 fps is easiest to control, followed by the 115/1,220-1,260, 124/1,150-1,200 and 127/1,233-1,260. Those are real world velocity ranges, measured at 15 feet from the muzzle. (They varied based mainly on light intensity).
115, 124, or 147 for 9mm & why? - Glock Talk
Mar 12, 2016 · I have found the 124/125 grain to be the better "all-round" shooting weight for all of my 9's. I used to go with 115, 124, 135, & 147. I have a short barreled 9 that 147's will not stabilize well so they are all over the place but they work with everything else. It is very accurate with 124's as are the rest of my 9's.
9mm Ammo, 115 grain vs 124 grain - Glock Talk
Jul 11, 2015 · As 124 tends to be the standard bullet weight in Europe and most all 9's are but or designed there , I have always found a SLIGHT edge in accuracy with 124 versus 115/147. It is so slight it is not worth my trouble to seek out 124 grain ammo as …
115 vs. 124 grain 9mm -- which do you prefer and why?
Dec 18, 2015 · 124gr for range and for carry. Keep the POA/POI the same while practicing, seems to cycle all guns reliably, have always been under the impression that Georg Luger's original 9mm weight was 8 grams aka 123.45gr. 124gr is what the majority of 9mm barrels are designed for and roughly what half the world's military pistols use.
9mm 115 vs 124 grain | Glock Talk
Apr 16, 2022 · I would submit the 115 grain came into common handgun use to limit penetration with FMJ ammo. Forgotten in all the noise about expensive expanding bullets, is the fact that reducing FMJ bullet weight, even while increasing velocity results in a "harder hitting" round that will expend slightly more energy IN target, taking less …
115gr. vs. 124gr. Ammo | Glock Talk
Jun 26, 2024 · 147 are subsonic and fill a niche. The debate is between 115 and 124 for practice. 147 is a different animal altogether. Part of the technology that made 9mm’s so much more effective in hp’s was going to 124 grain. In FMJ for self defense I would go 124. For practice who cares but I see a reason to use 124 gr for everything.
115 gr vs 124 gr vs 135 gr vs 147 gr - Glock Talk
Jun 8, 2018 · Increasing the bullet weight required a reduction in velocity, putting the 9mm in the 38 Special range. So I always stayed with the 115-124 grain 9mm bullet range (still do). But with modern bullet design I don't think you can go wrong with …
115gr vs 124gr vs 147gr Recoil/Accuracy - Glock Talk
115* = 1210 = 168371500 124 +p = 1220 = 184561600 147 = 985 = 142623075 * Not +p The 147gr will have the least recoil energy. 481's velocity is watered down for the 115gr, and if I get the gist the math s/he used is relative to momentum. Generally, the velocity for typical factory 9mm is: 115 +p = +100 to +150fps over 124gr +p
9mm: do you carry 115gr or 124gr, and why? | Glock Talk
115 or 124 Grain for summer, 147 Grain for winter. A little more mass to punch through those winter coats if necessary. I've read too many stories of a Carhartt Coat and several layers stopping a 9mm round. That and Meth is an epidemic in the Midwest.
9mm Factory Ammo - 115 or 124 grain for GSSF? - Glock Talk
May 22, 2023 · Test whatever you decide to shoot. Your gun, different ammo may impact different. I have found several guns that didn’t care for 115 or 147, but almost all liked 124 and either 115 or 147, rarely all 3. Other things count. The length of the bullet bearing surface, primarily. I shoot 95% ammo that I reload with Montana gold 124g jacketed ...
