Not sure if its been discussed but has anyone else found any particular ammo works in these gums better than the rest? For mine it seems to be 124g loads but I have not tried 147g and wondered if any brands made big differences. I know my few FTF's were with WWB 115g and had either ejection problems or limp wrist problems with Federal white box 115 shooting one handed. I've never once had any problems with the Hornady 124 XTP but that's way to expensive to shoot paper with other than to get familiar with them. I'm mostly looking for USA made Ammo that is quality while also not breaking the bank. Preferences are JHP and 124g and surplus ammo is fine since cost is an issue. Since this is my EDC I refuse to shoot Tula or Wolf because I'd just as soon not damage my barrel trying to forcefully extract a broken shell. Id also like to purchase in large quantities rather than buying an ammo can and a few dozen boxes for bulk discounts.

Opinions of my local friends are all over the map but very few, actually just one, have the Ruger for a true comparison in this gun and he swears by Remington HD. I was looking at Speer, Magtech, or PMC for price per round or even Winchester Winclean because I've noticed a large majority of the time if I have the rare reset issue its because there is a TON of powder between the body and the trigger linkage. So those that have shot a few thousand rounds through these guns and have really compared the brands and load sizes through them, please share your experience. Thanks in advance for any info.

Not one problem with mine, runs everything through it without a hitch.

 

[Buckeye4255]

I've run only PMC 115 gr JHP and Federal Hyrda Shok 124 gr thru mine. Approx 1K rounds and no problems at all.

I've put many different types of ammo through mine, 115 to 147, cheap range ammo to premium defense ammo, FMJ and JHP. I feel confident my sr9c would handle any ammo I choose for whatever reason I chose it.

 

[mndoggie]

I've run everything except the steel cased round thru my SR9c without problems (more than 2000 round so far.)

I always clean it after a range trip, even if I shoot only a few rounds. I've cleaned the striker channel twice and always clean behind the trigger bar.

(My opinion is that many of the issues with the trigger not resetting have to do with bent or dirty trigger bars.)

I have fired 10 different types of ammo in all bullet weights through my SR9c without issue.

My ruger SR9c has eaten everything I have fed it, Federal champion and Hydra Shok, Rem UMC, Winchester WB, Tula (actually one of the most accurate of the bunch but dirty as hell!) I prefer Federal round here cuz its cheap and readily available and shoots clean and accurate. I use Tula for cheap range fun and have never had a problem.

 

[handgunner2000]

my sr9c eats any thing- cheep or pricy ammo. and shoots better than i do.

 

[MidLife]

I prefer the 124 grain bullet. I have used the heavier 147 grain, but found better consistentancy with the 124 grain, but, that's just me and my ammo.

 

[MMCPO]

I shoot 115g ammo and the gun is as smooth as ever...I don't clean it after every range trip, I do however run a bore snake through it a few time and do a thorough cleaning every few trips to the range depending on amount of ammo I put down range

agree

That has also been my experience.

 

[Wolvee123]

I never had a huge issue with any weight or brand ammo.

it doesn't like the big hot stuff like the Double Tap +p 165gr 9mm stuff but honestly the only pistols I own that'll eat them are my Hk's (P30L, SK, USP) and my Beretta M9.
