A: Thanks for reaching out James! I regret that we haven't got a system in place to alert our customers when ammo is back in stock, and I can't in all fairness predict when we'll get 9mm Flobert back in our warehouse. We do update our inventory constantly, though, so I hope you'll check back in again soon!

A: Hi Steve! You definitely don't want 9mm Flobert. This is actually a relatively obscure rimfire shotshell, and it will not work in a 9mm handgun.
Ammo supplies are pretty tight right now, but I'm happy to say we have something in stock for you – high quality self-defense ammo at that: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-p-jhp-speer-le-gold-dot-duty-50-rounds. This is 9mm +P ammunition, loaded to create a higher chamber pressure to give its bullet a faster muzzle velocity and greater resultant energy downrange. Your Baby Eagle is rated to safely fire 9mm +P ammo, but please take care that overpressure ammo like this will wear out a semi-auto's moving parts a little faster. That doesn't matter at all for self-defense, but you don't want to damage your handgun for the sake of target practice.

A: Hello Sky! Not this ammo, unfortunately. The 9mm Flobert is an unusual type of rimfire primed shotshell that will not function in any 9mm pistol.
First off, as I write we haven't got any 9mm in stock. Demand has skyrocketed recently for reasons that need no elaboration, so we're in the midst of an "ammo drought." Still, we're getting in new ammo regularly and updating our site just as often. I hope you'll check back in again soon to see what we can do for you.
To answer your question, you want two types of ammunition. The first is for range training, and it will have a full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet. An FMJ is more economical yet doesn't deliver the terminal expansion you would want to reliably incapacitate a threat to your personal safety. The second is for self-defense. Its jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet will expand within soft tissue, although its more complicated design means you wouldn't want to utilize JHP bullets for regular target practice.
The ammo you want will be called 9mm, 9mm Luger, or 9x19. Your handgun is also capable of firing 9mm +P ammo, which is loaded to a higher chamber pressure to give its bullet a boosted muzzle velocity. The only caveat is 9mm +P ammo will wear out a semi-automatic handgun's moving parts a little faster, but that's not a concern as far as self-defense goes.
I'd highly recommend any ammo by Hornady, Barnes, or Federal Premium. Winchester, Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan, and Remington also make reliable ammo. Like I said, please do check in again soon to see what we can do for you in the 9mm department. I'm always available to answer any more questions you might have.

A: Hi Alan! The 9mm Flobert is a totally different cartridge than the 9mm Luger. The 9mm Flobert is actually a brass cased shotshell with a rimfire primer, and an extremely weak one at that!
This ammo wouldn't work in your pistol. I'm afraid finding what you want won't be easy during this ammo drought we're in the midst of, but if you can find it I would recommend CCI's 9mm shotshells: cci-ammunition.com/handgun/cci/pest_control_shotshell/6-3790.html.
