Thanks, I'm going to grab a couple cases of the PMC to try out. My daughter used to like shooting the cheap Russian steel cased 9mm in the M&P 2.0 because it was a little less snappy. Maybe PMC will fill that niche.
She was often a little more accurate with the 9mm Shield. I think it had a lot to do with the reduced trigger reach. But the shield does recoil significantly more, so it's less fun to practice with as the round count goes up.
The 147 grain P9HST2 has been my carry load for years because it shoots like practice ammo and has worked great in my guns. Although, I do swap out for 124+P Gold Dots in the woods sometimes because I think they penetrate a little more and are bonded. Can't go wrong with either of those if your gun likes them.
