A Trojan is essentially a target pistol, but very good.
Mine has had a complete go thru with the internals, everything polished, barrel ported, the plastic springhousing replaced with steel, 18.5# spring, ambidextrous safety, combat tritium sights. It started out blue steel but that did not hold up to sweat and sand and I had it titanium electoplated. It will feed, without falter, any combination of loads or bullets that you can put in the magazine. It is now and has been for several years, a combat pistol. My business was bailbonding, and it had to work.

Want to put in a pocket holster of some kind, if possible. Carry ammo not yet determined. Spyderco Endura Wave clipped to left rear pocket. I'll never carry more than one gun at a time.

NWDude-
How did you come to decide upon the 147gr load for SD? There are many choices out there. I'm curious. Did you give it a lot of consideration, or did you have no choice? Also, please tell me about shooting that round from the Kahr CW9. |

I had heard nothing but good things about Speer GoldDots, so I knew that was one of my top SD choices. Then I read this list which was posted by Dr.Gary Roberts who is a noted ballistics and medical expert. (Just listing 9mm)

Why did you pick that one over the 124gr +P version of the Speer GD?
Isn't that the one (124gr +P) used by NYPD? Curious as to basis for your choice. Did you compare those two Speer GD rounds at all? Did you shoot both? Did you shoot any others? If you will note my post, above, I'm about to receive a new Kahr CW9 and choice of carry ammo has yet to be determined. Thanks. |

Thanks for your comments and taking the time to present the chart compiled by Dr. Roberts.

Also, Speer's own website says the 124gr +P is marketed for 2" and shorter barrels. My CW9 has a 3.5" barrel.

I see. Thanks for that info.
I think the official numbers for the barrel for the CW9 are 3.6" according to Kahr website. This may arguably be considered short barrel, at least it's short in comparison to the Beretta or the Taurus PT-92 (5 inches), and no doubt short in relation to testing bbl equipment. But I know of no 9mm with a bbl of 2" or shorter. A further check of the website indicates the short barrel of the 124gr +P was tested with a 3.5" barrel. However, little doubt from the Dr.'s chart that your round is perfectly acceptable. I'm leaning toward the Speer 124 +P GDHP because it seems to be used a lot by LE, and I reload, and have 124 gr bullets on hand to try to duplicate the load. Plus, I've heard good things about Speer GDSB, and carry it in my J-frame. Last edited by brentfoto; March 21, 2008 at 12:32 AM. |

To brentfoto...here is an awesome website which test some of the brands listed.
Pisto Cartridges (9x19mm Luger) I just ordered some Federal HST 147g to test out. It blossoms into a pretty nasty flower, maintains its mass, and penetrated as well as some of the lighter bullets. I didn't want any extra recoil from the +P. As to the OP's question I will carry my Beretta PX4 9mm in a Desantis speed scabbard (open top on belt)...when I get my permit in a few weeks. Fly

There are actually 3 in rotation. G-19, XDSC40, and a Bersa Thunder .380. The Bersa is my light duty weapon and is carried the least amount. I primarily carry the Glock and XD depending on the day. Always IWB in custom holsters I make myself. Plus either my SOG Flash II or my SOG trident.
