A: Hi Omar! In my honest opinion, bullet weight doesn't matter all that much when it comes to 9mm ammunition as far as handgun size is concerned. You'd ideally want something lower recoil for a subcompact, but a lighter bullet doesn't necessarily produce less recoil. Recoil is determined by handgun weight, propellant weight, bullet weight and muzzle velocity, but lighter 9mm bullets generally have higher muzzle velocities so it all sort of balances it out. Sorry if I'm getting off topic here, but again, I believe your P365 ought to run 147gr ammo just fine.
The only 9mm ammo we have in stock at this very moment is right here: luckygunner.com/handgun/9mm-ammo. Your P365 is rated for 9mm +P ammo, so I'd recommend the Gold Dot or Handgun Hunter ammo for your self-defense needs. Both are great rounds, but I'd prefer the Hornady ammo myself. Great stuff. Just don't order 9mm +P+ ammo because that could damage your firearm.

A: I'm sorry sir, but we do not ship to California, even if it's to a dealer or other FFL holder. I hope we're able to serve you one day!

A: Great question! "HST" might possibly stand for "Hi-Shok Two," a reference to Federal's earlier self-defense bullet that its design is based on. Really, though, the letters are just this ammo's brand name.

A: Thank you for reaching out, Andrew! Let us begin with a disclaimer: We are not lawyers, we are not qualified to give legal advice, and any advice we give you is not intended to serve as legal advice. For your answer: We understand that it is legal to possess hollow point ammunition in California. You may find a little more information on the subject in this article: allgov.com/usa/ca/news/california-and-the-nation/federal-court-upholds-sf-hollow-point-bullet-ban-and-gun-lock-box-law-140328?news=852783

A: Thanks for asking, Neal! In general, by selecting a heavier bullet for a 9mm cartridge you receive superior momentum at the expense of a slower muzzle velocity. A slower muzzle velocity means faster bullet drop, which impacts accuracy, but at most practical self-defense ranges the effect may be negligible. Interestingly, the heavier bullet's slower speed may actually inhibit expansion to a degree, because it has less energy to force its nose cavity to open. In our opinion, one of the best reasons to select a 147 grain bullet is if you are using a suppresor; A 147 grain round's subsonic muzzle velocity creates a softer report for a muzzle to dampen. The FBI would indeed penalize a round for penetrating past 18 inches. The FBI considers a depth 14 to 16 inches ideal. We hope that helps!

A: I would share your concerns Jason. I wouldn't want to depend on ammunition that has already seen use. All of our ammo is in new condition. We never "buy back" ammo to resell. You can buy with confidence.
