What's the best subsonic 9mm?

[okgunrunner]

I have a couple of different brands of subsonic 9mm. I have some Speer Lawman 147 gr, Fiocchi 147gr, and some IMI 158 gr. The best I've used so far is the IMI 158 gr, it is stupid quiet. The Fiocchi is fairly quiet and the Speer really sucks. I shoot it and still hear the crack. It shouldn't do that. My question for you guys is what's the best? I am really looking and also looking for deals. Any info is appreciated.

I like the Fiocci and IWI 158's.

Fiocchi 158s. I like the IMI 158s also but they are harder to find.
I think Fiocchi only makes the 158s once a year

i bought 4 cases of IMI last time i saw it.....at the time i saw nothing but good reviews on it

Kinda expensive, but available: https://dsgarms.com/fi9ape

SGammo has the PPU 158's, but they don't seem as consistent to me.

I have had VERY god luck with S&B 140gr. It as reliable as ANYTHING else I found.

158 is quiet. That’s great if all you want is quiet and it’s just for target practice. I would use something with more penetration for defense. 158 is like turning your 9mm into a .380.

For defensive use, the HST 147's are great IMO.

Fiocchi and S&B. The local G S sells the Fiocchi and usually has it in stock, the S&B is very hard to find!

May be a better question to ask is "What are you putting it thru"? O.B. SMG, C.B. SMG, or what?

These guys are GREAT! I haven't used any of it in my M11/9 but I have shot the "chubbies" 147 -p in my HK VP9 and the recoil is close to .380 and with my Octane45 it is QUIET!!

SWD M11/9 OB SMG, OB Uzi I have a Bowers CAC9 that I use on both and Mossad waiting for the stamp to get here.

Freedom Munitions 147 gn. works great or me in my m11a1 Lage Max 31 with AAC Ti rant. Quiet and extremely dependable as well. On my second k, and have not had a failure of any kind.

The absolute quietest ammo I've ever shot in my Uzi SMG with Bowers CAC is IMI 158 grain and never had a single malfunction.

I've shot a fecal load of Fiocchi 115 grain in several different subguns and I'm a big fan. I haven't tried their 158 grain, but I'm sure it's excellent.

1) What are you gonna use it for? (Big difference between Quiet/Cheap/Defense "Best")
2) Do you Handload?

 

[rsideout]

I've shot probably 8,000+ rounds of Fiocchi 158 gr. Works great in the Uzi, MAC, AR15-9, & MP5. It's definitely my favorite.

Where is the best price you guys found on the Fiocchi? I wouldn't mind loading up on a couple cases to run through my MP5, MP5SD, and WWII MKIIS integral suppressed Sten.
