A: No sir! The Russians actually invented the 9mm Makarov (aka 9×18mm Makarov) with the intention of making a cartridge that wouldn't function in 9mm (aka 9×19mm Parabellum) firearms! Point is, you want to stick to plain old 9mm. If you're looking for a box of good self-defense ammo for your Taurus 9mm, you'll like HST by Federal: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-hst-federal-premium-le-50-round. That ammo was developed for law enforcement and does very well on the FBI test for terminal ballistics. Speer's Gold Dot is another cop favorite: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-speer-gold-dot-50-rounds.
