    It wasn’t truly unlimited, but if the range masters knew you were a shooter and not just a hoarder they would load you down. The Border Patrol has always prided itself on marksmanship and if they got someone they knew was going to practice they enabled it.

    The only down side was that ammo is hot. Every 5,000 rounds the gun (Beretta 96D) had to be inspected. I won’t put it in anything but a Glock these days because I don’t trust it’s actually within SAMMI spec. I still have about a case of it left and I have no idea if Federal even makes it anymore now the BP has gone to 9mm along with the Feebs.
    Just ordered some 9mm high pressure ball ammo from SG, sounds very similar

    Winchester Rager 127gr +P+ is my number 1 favorite, followed closely by the 135gr +P Hornady.

    When all the BLM/Antifa riots were going on and cities were burning to the ground, I started seriously considering carrying a heavier 9mm for possible barrier penetration. Even going heavier in my 40s.

    Look at TUI 9MM.
