Help a newbie out please. Looking to buy some ammo for my new handguns (S&W MP9mm and Sig P226 9mm). Was going to buy blazer 9mm ammo, and just noticed they have 115gr and 124gr ammo. Can somebody kindly explain the difference between these two and which is appropriate for using at the gun range? Also, my first time going to range, is FMJ ammo accepted at all ranges? Thanks!
Not anything you will notice. Buy the cheaper and possibly the heavier. Yes, FMJ is usable. The 115gr is a lighter bullet than the 124gr.
If they were all priced the same I would tend to buy the heavier as well, but honestly just buy the cheapest you can find. I would assume most ranges would allow FMJ as it is the most common. That being said if ammo has a mild steel jacket some ranges may have rules against that.
When all the same price I buy 147gr for professionnal reason (train as you fight)
If no 147gr is available, I buy whatever is on the shelves favoring 124gr then 115gr. Some people will say 115gr feels "snappiers" but I haven't noticed any difference.
Buy whatever you find in FMJ it should put a smile on your face once you press that trigger anyway :P
Thanks for the info guys! Can't wait to pick up my firearms and start shooting!
what they said ...
A little late to the party? lol.Originally Posted by medvedqc
Buy both and shoot what is best, you will notice the 115 is a lot louder and more recoil than the 124. I didn’t notice until someone pointed it out to me one day.

Any thoughts on Barnaul ammunition? Significantly cheaper than Blazer Brass and Federal

edit: nvm, just noticed they're steel plated. I'll stick with blazer brass or federal
can you buy commercial reloads with lead bullets? half the cost.
