Agreed, but I'd add Hornady Critical Duty (non-+p) to the list to try.find the one that performs most consistently, that you'll put your life on the line with.
I carried 124g +P Gold Dot for a while, now I'm all 147g +P HST in 9mm. I made the switch due to better testing results and that I shoot 147g suppressed, so it made my 9mm range and carry ammo the same at 147g.HST and Gold Dots are both great choices. Personally I like HST 147 GR +P for my 9MM SD pistols.
Could you link to some of this bad press, as I haven't seen anything negative about HST rounds.I use HST in my revolver. HST has some bad press with respect to FTF with sticking on the feed ramps.
I was surprised how soft shooting the HST 147 +P is in my handguns including my Walther PPS.I carried 124g +P Gold Dot for a while, now I'm all 147g +P HST in 9mm.

I was also surprised by that in my 19. Extremely soft shooting.I was surprised how soft shooting the HST 147 +P is in my handguns including my Walther PPS.
I ran into it on a couple of the Glock boards last year. There was also some conversation about it on the Walter forum, and on the Defensive Carry Forum.Could you link to some of this bad press, as I haven't seen anything negative about HST rounds.
I use 124 grain HST rounds in my carry gun, Glock 43; my nightstand gun, P229 Legion; and in a Kel Tec Sub 2000 and haven't had any problems.
Along with Winchester Ranger T-Series and Ranger Bonded. I will buy HST, Gold Dot, or Ranger T/ Bonded without a second though, simply based on who has what in stock for a decent price. As far as I'm concerned the three are pretty much interchangeable. I do like that Ranger are available in +P+...I'm not sure if the other two are or not.Most LEOs are issued Speer Gold Dot ammo for duty.
