I just bought a box myself. I am too cheap to use them for testing though. I am just going to use them for carry when my most likely target(s) will be human. They are designed for a total transfer of energy into their target and I have heard nothing bad. At 135 grain, it should haul some butt too. I assume this is in 40S&W?

.40 caliber 135gr. "PD" Hydra-Shok is the round I use most often in my G27. Federal is my number one choice in ammo. I'm not so recoil sensitive, but I figure less recoil will be easier on the my favorite pistol. To tell the truth, I really can't feel much difference in the 135 grain rounds. In the heavier bullets though, I sense more recoil.
I tried the free ammo that Cor-Bon was offering and I liked it also. I've continued to buy some 135gr. Cor-Bon hollow point.

Hi, PreserveFreedom,
"I am too cheap to use them for testing though. I am just going to use them for carry when my most likely target(s) will be human."
And how do you know they will work when you need them against that ultimate target? Finding out that your new ammo won't feed should be done on the range, not on the street. This is one area where you really do decide what your life is worth, and "cheap" is not the way to go.

Federal makes a 135 gr H/S in 9mm. Good stuff, though with a lot of muzzle flash, my SIG 226 & 228 like it fine.

It give me no discernible advantage over the 124, so I stay with the latter.
The 135 is cheaper because it's just not as accurate as the 124 or the 115.
You should train with the weight you carry. last time I checked, 135 grain 9mm factory ammo was pretty hard to find compared to the 124 and 115 grain 9mm ammo.
If you're carrying, the 124 grain HS is the load most carry.

Jim, I never thought of it that way. Now that you mention it, I will include an extra box or 2 in my next ammo order. I have always used ball ammo in all of my autos so feeding has never been a problem but now that you mention it, I have heard of problems with hollowpoints in some autos. Thanx a bunch!

Hydroshok efficiency: I was on a jury in a case where the late unlamented had been done in by five hits from a Model 36. The coroner's report concluded that any one of the hits would have been sufficient.

An old man once gave me some excellent hunting advice and I think it applies here. It has served me well for many years.
"If you can only afford to buy 20 bullets you should shoot 15 in practice and carry the 5 that are left rather than the other way round."
