What is the best 9mm ammo(training, range, concealed carry or defense)? The best 9mm ammo(training, range, ccw or defense) setup is one that your training/range ammo has similar groupings as your defensive ammo. For me using Federal 124gr +P HST 9mm ammo for defense and Winchester 124gr NATO (+P) FMJ for the range has proven to be a good combo. I also use Federal 147gr +P Solid Core for wilderness carry, which performs with reasonable groupings compared to my training/range and defensive ammo. Shoot your defensive/concealed carry ammo! Make sure it works, and sight it in to that. While your groupings will never be perfectly the same, paying attention to what is similar will help keep you consistent when training or when you might have to use your 9mm in self defense!
