Video Transcript:
Today, I'd like to talk about American Eagle subsonic 9mm ammunition. This is loaded with over 147 grain, full metal jacket, flat-point bullets made by the Federal Cartridge Company in Anoka, Minnesota. Federal is part of the ATK family of companies. Federal makes a lot of ammunition for both law enforcement and military applications, and though this is commercial ammo, it's held to the same high standards.
This ammo was made to be subsonic, which means that it travels for the speed of sound. To test this, I put this through a suppressed pistol. With a suppressor, it's very simple to tell what's subsonic and what's not because you can hear the supersonic crack if it breaks the sound barrier. This being said, this ammunition was some of the quietest I've ever fired in my pistol. As another test of its velocity, I chronographed this in both 4 and 5-inch barrel pistols.
Throughout the test, I noticed that this ammo was very clean and didn't leave behind much residue. This is important with any ammunition, but using a suppressor makes this much more noticeable. The suppressed firemen that I tried this with was a CZ SP-01, though I tried it unsuppressed, as well. The other firearms were a Glock 19, a Ruger LC-9, a Ruger SR-9, a Kimber 1911, and a Browning Hi-Power. Not only were there not any issues with reliability, but it was also very easy to shoot and extremely accurate.
If you carry 147 grain hollow-points, buying this ammunition provides another benefit in that will recoil and perform very similarly, and practicing for defense will be much more effective. I think that this ammo was a great choice for those who need reliable 147 grain 9mm load, or for those who carry 147s and want to practice for defense. It's also a great choice for general shooting because of the accuracy and low recoil of the 147 grain bullet.

Shot a brick through a CZ SP-01 and had no issues. Clean and problem-free.Performance Value Quality
Good stuff. I've had better performance and seen better quality, but in fairness only from ammo that cost a lot more. (Posted on 1/8/13) - Great Training Ammo Review by David

"I have HP Gold Dot for home protection but this is best training ammo that I have used. Happy shooting!"
Same boat, I run gold dot for home protection but this is great training ammo. I only encountered one stove pipe in a Glock 19 due to the user having a weak grip, not due to failure of ammo. I would recommend this to anyone. (Posted on 11/29/12) - Great Ammo - 3000/3000 Review by Thorz

I have shot several brands of 9mm ammo at various weights, and I think that this ammo is awesome for competition shooting if you don't have a re-loader.Performance Value Quality
I can't recall ever having a jam or a misfire that was due to the ammo itself.
i have shot nearly 12000 rounds through my Springfield XDM and the American Eagle ammo is by far the cleanest, and best priced ammo i have shot with it.

Ran a 1000 through my P226, what a difference compared to the 115grn stuff. Grouping at 5" and 20 yards with ease. May not suit every gun, but I've not yet found one that does not love this ammo. (Posted on 4/28/12)Performance Value Quality - Batting 1000 for 1000 Review by Nick

I have just completed firing 1000 rounds of this ammo through my Sig P228 with NOT ONE SINGLE problem. I am completely sold on this ammo and will come back to it frequently. I use many different ammos for the range and this one is a performance king. Hope this helps if deciding to purchase. (Posted on 9/14/11)Performance Value Quality

Very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying from this company again. I also like their straightforward inventory system. If it's not on their website, they don't have it! They also list how many of a particular item is left."
