Title: Nosler sporting handgun JHP 115gr- anyone?
Post by: Europe on November 22, 2019, 05:09:49 PM
I am looking for any background from guys shooting 9mm Nosler sporting handgun round. Is it worth the money?
How does it perform vis a vis geco hexagon?

Because cost is a major concern, for us to answer that you need to put your general location in your profile.

If you're located in the U.S., Nosler is currently having a sale on their handgun ammunition.  Here's the link:

https://shop.nosler.com/nosler-ammunition-ammo/match-grade-handgun/shopby/utm_source//utm_campaign//utm_medium//utm_term//mc_cid//mc_eid/.html

I've never shot the Geco 9x19, so I can't compare it to Nosler 9x19 ammunition, but I can say that the Nosler product works as well as any cup and core bullet.  As with all terminal ballistics tests, it depends on the test medium and conditions at the time of testing.  It's also more accurate than most shooters, as is "most" ammunition.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your feedback. In the EU the aforementioned nosler round is 30%-40% more expensive than in the US. It's 30% more expensive than ruag's geco hexagon. I don't really care about terminal ballistic as I would use it for target shooting.
