Are you looking specifically for 124 grain?

Between the 3 I would go
Federal
Wolf
Blazer brass

It's a tight race between federal and wolf for the top spot... They both burn pretty clean but since wolf was once fired I gave federal the top spot because the brass is brand new. I gave the blazer the 3 spot because it is the dirtiest of the 3 but still are better then some of the other options out there. Over all you can't loose by picking up any one of the 3... If money is a concern and u don't reload then I would go for wolf.

Ps....good thing you didn't get LCW... Although it is cheaper ...It is also bi-metal which means you will probably get in trouble with some rage rules and also it will eat away your barrel faster then any of the 3 ammo you mentioned.

Which gun is it for?... A good start is to look at factory ammo that they use to test fire with... Will give you a good idea

I prefer 147 grain in my 9mm as they seem less "snappy"
Of all the choice go with the wolf its cheaper and ive never had a issue with it save yourself a bit of cash.

its for a beretta 92F clone
Girsan compact

CanadaAmmo has 115 grain AE for $349.99, but they'll pricematch. SFRC has it for $299.99 in stock, so with CanAm pricematching that and free shipping it should work out to $314.99 shipped.

 

[GenesisCoupe]

just sent them an email
thanks
and i can add some cheap slugs with that

No factory perffered ammo as per the manufacture... So I think 115gr/124gr should both be fine for target practice. Down to personal perference.

 

[soulchaser]

Try to find a box or 2 of each and run it through your gun.

See which one it likes best, then buy that in bulk.

Lebaron only has Winchester USA brand, Winchester WinClean and Remington UMC in 9mm.

I've shot the Winchester USA and Remington UMC in 115gr and 124gr. No issues.

Have you tried that in a Glock?

I have in my 17. Works good. I've tried 115, 124, and 147 in both the Glock & my CZ. I think I like the 124 the best...but they are all really close. I'll buy what's on sale whether it be 115, 124, or 147.

 

[sunray]

Don't buy 1,000 until you've tried a box. Your pistol may not shoot it well.

Barnaul 9mm at Wolverine is close to the LCW price for same product type.

I've had good luck with Wolf TMJ. About 1500 rounds, not a single malfunction.

 

[sailor723]

Tradex has Centaure 124gr for 299/1000 with free shipping. I've shot both their .40 and their 9mm and have had no issues.

 

[bollox]

With 9mm, I just buy what's cheapest.

Couldn't care less what grain.

I would agree with that.
