Good morning NES-ers, one and all,
Since you were all very generous with replying to my most recent thread:
http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/280362-Arlington-MA
I thought I'd take the opportunity to ask another question. Here goes . . .
I'm in the process of breaking in a new pistol -- a Smith & Wesson SD9VE. For those not in the know, this is *not* a Sigma. With "standard" 115 grain 9mm ammo, the gun is short stroking a bit and only holding open on the last round on occasion. I've tried a couple different brands of 115 grain fodder, all with more or less the same result. I called s&w and they suggested I run some hotter ammo. I know NATO-spec 9mm runs about 3k or 4k psi higher than most civvie 115 grain 9mm ammo. Fiocchi 124 grain was mentioned to me by name. Shooters Outpost in Hooksett I know carries the Fiocchi but I don't get that direction very often.
Can anyone recommend a shop / big-box store where I can buy true NATO-spec or +P FMJ range ammo? Stores within a reasonable distance to me include Cabelas (Berlin, MA), Four Sesaons, Blue Northern (Ayer, MA), Hitman Firearms (Tyngsboro), etc. I already checked in with Granite State Indoor (Hudson, NH) and they don't have any.
Thank you all,
- Brad
