As of now my son and I have fired in excess of 500 rounds of Nosler’s Match Grade handgun ammo through his Wilson Combat 1911 in 9mm. The load we have been using is the 124 gr. JHP load and it is very accurate and just as reliable.
Even though this is a hollow point bullet, do not make the mistake of assuming it is a defensive load. Yes, if velocities are high enough these loads will expand but the impact velocity needed for expansion is right on the edge of what these loads will deliver.
Nope, Nosler’s Match handgun ammunition is for when you need all the accuracy you can stand with all the reliability you need to go with it. If there soon to be released defense loads are as good in that capacity as their match loads, the bar will have been raised.
