9mm Luger Ammo Brand Preference?

One exception - Barnaul. Avoid the green coated steel stuff, unless you're super hard core about practising stoppage drills. I tried to run some in a brand new G17 and it choked repeatedly, tried it in a G19 and my always reliable M&P, it choked in all of them. I kept the stuff because I could feed it into random mags and it would fail on an unpredictable schedule. Great for that type of practise, but otherwise utterly useless. I think the primers were cast iron.

Or... we could not lock it and hear people's opinion's about quality, reloading capacity and the fact that it doesn't matter for some, and does matter for others. For me, I learned that some people feel that European loads are a little hotter, and there's a brand called Magtech which I've never heard of that someone who regularly shoots IPSC thinks is fine, which is good intel/learning for me as well.
 
For IPSC I was best with 147g cci blazer or reloads with the same. They have been harder to find since the turd ban at similar prices to 115 &. 124, but in the end yes the cheapest or best sale won more times than not
 
Of the one's you listed, PMC 124gr is my go to as it is the cheapest quality* ammo here at my local shop. For reference, my normal go to is Winchester White Box NATO spec if I did any competition or serious shooting but that's just worked for me.

*by quality I mean the ones that my gun likes and doesn't shift my groups. Results may vary.
