    I like 155 gn, I don't know if you can find factory loads with 155 or not.

    No, that is DHS contract training ammo, it’s loaded to mimic 180 grain HST.

    We issued 155 grain JHP from Remington, Winchester and Federal. The extra recoil and blast is not worth it.

    180 grain works just fine and easier on both guns and the shooter.

    In a yer when we actually have choice in Ammo availability again I’ll have to try some.

    That was my experience when we bought the M&P40s back in 06. I started us with the 155 Gold Dot, but it seemed to “snappy” especially for the less experienced shooters. I switched to the 180 Gold Dot and also noted that pistols seemed to have the POA/POI better aligned than with the 155s.

    It'll probably be 3 months for the supply chain to get caught up again, just in time for people to freak out about the election. What a year 2020 is going to be.
