M&P Shield 9 - Personal Defense Ammo that Didn't Work Well
Just picked up a Shield 9. Rather than tell me PD ammo that does work tell me about PD ammo you've tried that DID NOT work.

I bought some 124 gr HP from Freedom Munitions for my Shield and I've had 7 failure to eject and 5 failure to fire on them. Most of those were from one box and I've shot another couple boxes without issue but that one box was enough to make sure I wouldn't count on that as PD ammo.

Wish I could tell you, but I've run 124-gr. +P Gold Dot Short Barrel, 127-gr. +P+ Winchester Ranger, 147-gr. Ranger Bonded, and 147-gr. +P and standard pressure HST through mine without a hiccup.

Thanks for the video Plouffedaddy, I just bought a Shield 9mm last week too. So far I've put 50 rounds of 115gr Speer LE ball and another 250 or so of reloads through it. I keep 147gr Gold Dot in my P228 and have that in the Shield for now, just haven't got back out to test it yet. Pretty confident it will run just fine, though.

I aways find my self with speer hp bullets in my defense handguns. Be it the old standard Gold Dot or the newer unicorn bonded GD . They have allways been dependable in every handgun I have tried them in so I stopped try'n others for the sake of a better bullet. I have from time to time shot other brands to test ammo made by the same company when out of GD's but I cc speer only bullets.

All the good stuff works in them....if you want some that doesn't, try some off the brand reloads or something like that.

Plouffedaddy,I'm sure you've heard this before, but your muzzle awareness
scares the CRAP out of me. |

"Muzzle awareness" you have to be careful not to sweep those stationary cameras.
