I'd like to get some opinions about Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P ammunition. I know that every P-11 needs its own ammo reliability test but is this round generally thought to be a relianly feeding one. My standard pressure round is Federal Hi-Shok 115gr (9BP). I also want a reliable +P option. The high pressure version of the Federal Hi-Shok is a +P+ version. I like to stay away from +P+. Please share your thoughts on the Remington Golden Saber 124gr +P.

My last department used the Golden Saber 147gr +p's. We loved them. They fed reliably and were hard hitting. I am not a fan of the 147 but I would imagine that the 124's are better. It seems that the Remongton's are longer than most other rounds though.

In the GoldenLoki gelatin tests the 124 grain GS did very well, penetrating an average of 15.2 inches with an average expansion to .62 inches. All tests were fired from a P-11.

Try hand feeding

I asked somewhat the same question about the CorBon 125+p.
My hands are sore from field striping my gun so much that I do not want to fire the CorBon because this just means more cleaning. So I hand cycled a couple of magizines full by crisply pulling back the slide. I had one round run into the ramp and did not chamber!, but I believe it would have worked fine if fired. So I would just hand fed them if you are not going to shoot them. The P-11 eat everything else that I fired through it, they are real good guns! I would bet that you would not have any proplems.

that is what I carry....

they do seem to be longer rounds, but that has not been a problem in mine.

i don't know if it is any help, but i have a P-11 I carry as a backup weapon. I carry it loaded with the remington golden sabre 124gr. +P's that you are asking about. Since this is the round i carry in it when using it as a backup it is also the round i fire at the range (i like to train with the same round i'm going to be using). I have fired appx. 500+ rounds of this type and had no feeding problems at all. And as for accuracy I have shot a 1 to 1.5 inch shot grouping on a regular basis at 50 yards and have also managed a 1 inch shot grouping at 75 yards. As far as ballistics I have seen a few articles on other websites about this round and all have given it great reviews.

I prefer the Cor-bon Pow'Rball round in 9mm+P. 100gr JHP with a polymer ball in the nose giving it the profile of FMJ (increased feeding reliability) and acting as a wedge to consistently expand the HP. The numbers are impressive, 1475fps and 483ft/lbs. Reviews of the cartridge have been good. I use it in 9mm +P, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig.

Sportsman' Guide has them at a good price -- better than the factory price:

I'm carrying it in my HK P7 for concealed carry.
