9 mm Ammo Sugestion's

Generally HP ammo is WAY more expensive than FMJ RN, as it has no real purpose in paper target shooting (More along the lines of 'Murican self defense). Like Paul_T said, 115/124 grain FMJ ammo is the cheapest bulk ammo you'll find.
Tenda out of Ontario often has Blazer Brass 9mm (In 115 and 124 gn) on sale for pretty good prices. Shipping is reasonable too. I've bought the majority of my 9mm from them. The Blazer Brass is made by CCI (Incidentally, Speer is made at the same address), and I've had zero issues with it. Can't really comment on accuracy, as I've only really shot it at close range at steel challenge matches. No complaints though? When I miss, it's me haha.
Western metals here in Calgary also has decent prices on remanufactured 9mm. They do (Or did?) a 9mm on the 9th of every month sale, although they haven't mentioned it in a while. I've only shot maybe 1000 or so rounds of their ammo, but again, zero issues.

If you spend a few $100 and get a reload kit, it's going to be the best investment after your gun. You will choose your bullet weight, powder charge and have the best ammo for your gun.
Thanks for the suggestions. I do have reloading equipment but don't have any dies or components yet. I thought some factory ammo would give me some brass and have fun getting it LOL. Has anyone tried the xMetal that SFRC sells or I see there is a bulk pail of Remington?

Anything and everything should work fine in a Canik. Commercial reloads, factory etc. 147gr shoots the nicest (softest) but may have a different point of impact. 115 and 124 gr are very similar and I interchange them regularly with no noticeable difference.
147gr is more expensive and a bit harder to find.
The only ones I have ever had problems with are Barnaul and Wartek ammo. Barnaul has hard primers and Wartek is just junk.

Commercial reloads are often the way to go if you aren't into getting set up to reload 9mm. I have had much more consistent accuracy results in all my 9mm's with 124 grain - minimum and better yet - 147 grain bullets. Those 135's that Ganderite just mentioned may be well worth a try to. Thanks for the heads up Ganderite!
