I am really surprised the 147 HST is not priced higher. It's as good as it gets in a 9mm.
What pictures don't show is just how much heavier and how much deeper a 147 grain goes than a 115 grain. Especially if encountering bone.
It's a nice chunk of lead. I used to carry the 147 talons but with the price of HST being so reasonable, have now switched. It's every bit as good as the Rangers, Talons, or Sabers, and for $20 for 50 it really is a steal.
