+1 on the Ranger-T rounds, I use the 127 gr. +P+ for my USP9C (carry piece) and the 230 gr. +P for my USP45 (one of several home defense pieces).

I'll tell you a great place to order this ammo from, http://ammunitiontogo.com/. They just about always have Ranger-T in-stock. If they happen to be out-of-stock when you order, get some of the Federal HST rounds for your piece (not to be confused with the less effective Federal "hydra-shok" round). HST ammo is ballistically similar to Ranger-T loads, and offers the same sort of disruptive bullet expansion (i.e., sharp, petal-like edges upon expanding).

This guy did some interesting testing of several different JHP loads in 9mm (including Ranger-T, HST, and Hydra-shok loads): http://frag.110mb.com. Dude, I'd REALLY hate to ever "catch" a round of Ranger-T or HST...talk about pain! :shock:
