WooHoo! The ten day wait is over, and I picked up my Rost Martin 9mm today!

@Zaphod42 I prefer to carry the most effective 9mm ammo available. The 147 gr. subsonic round was developed to be used in a 9mm with a suppressor attached. You are giving up a lot of performance by using this 147 gr. round. I've done a lot of ballistic testing in my life and have found excellent results in the Winchester PDX-1, +P+ round. I have this round in all my carry 9mm pistols.

@Nitedoc But if you use subsonic rounds, they will make less noise. That is important if someone breaks into your home and you shoot them and then your ears are ringing. He would be able to hear you, but you can't hear him.

@DallasCowboysFan After you shoot that subsonic round in an enclosed room your ears will be ringing anyway so it doesn't matter which ammo you use. Shooting in a dark or semi dark room will likely cause a large blind spot in your vision due to muzzle flash, similar to a flash from a camera. This dissipates quickly too usually within a minute or two. After you shoot the 9mm pistol you won't need to hear him anymore. You will still be able to hear well enough to make your 911 call afterward.

@Fukfacewillie Not so badly that I couldn’t pass a background check 🙂

@Zaphod42 Be careful. Gun deaths from suicide are rampant. If you are having an episode get the gun out of the house. Give it to a friend to hold onto.

@swirlie I don’t have, nor do I plan to get a CCW. And I’m not looking to run afoul of the law either, so just unloaded practice at home and range days a couple days a month 🙂
