9mm wadcutters and semi wadcutters
I can find wadcutters and semi wadcutters pre made bullets and custom molds for the 45 acp, but what about the 9mm?

Never seen or heard about wadcutters for 9mm, doubt they would feed. Penn Bullets does sell SWC for 9mm and they shoot great in the guns I have tried them in. http://www.pennbullets.com/

my Hi-Power doesn't even feed truncated cone bullets well. WC or SWC is out of the questions.

I'm guessing those Mossouri's are just .38s sized to 9mm.

If Missouri makes a .358 125g SWC I'm not seeing it listed on their site.

I cast my own using the Lee .358 105 grain SWC mold and size it to .356.
Not all 9mm guns like this style bullet. My Hi Power feeds it just fine, but my Uzi carbine barfs if you try to feed it that style of bullet. Straight wad cutters would be a no go in any sort of auto loader equation |

Some years ago I loaded and shot a lot of 9mm 124 grain semi wadcutters in a cZ75 and a Llama Omni. Great bullets and no problems with either pistol.

I have shot some 75 grn wadcutters out of my P228 with no problems. They weren't very accurate, but fed and ejected just fine.

I tried a few of the 9mm Penn 115grain SWC in my M&P. They fed well and were accurate, but the 120 grain TC's have been so good in this gun that I decided to stay with them.
