Can anyone suggest a good source for the HST ammo?
Federal Cartridge...
Just keep a lookout for your favorite online stores. It rarely stays in stock very long now days. I'm shooting more .40 now days as it seems to be a lot easier to find what ammo I want on the market. Or you can go to a local gun store and they will put you on a waiting list for your ammo of choice when they get some in.

Streicher's Police Supply usually has HST in stock.

I know I've asked before, but I have never seen an answer - how does the standard pressure 124gr HST compare to the standard pressure 147gr HST and the 124gr +p HST? Specifically from a short barrel G26?
50 FPS difference between the standard pressure and the same weight +p doesn't seem like it would make that much difference in terminal performance. The heavier 147gr may make a meaningfull difference in penetration over the 124gr, I don't know. I do remember reading on this forum that the +p aids in feeding reliability, expecially if the gun is dirty or not gripped properly.
The only data I've seen on performance came from Federal and used a G17. That data actually made the 124gr seem to perform a little better overall than did the 147gr (standard pressure only, no +p versions were tested as none were available at the time).
How would the .45 auto rim 160 gr DPX compare to the BG and 4LD performance results of the .45 acp 160 gr DPX? I'm assuming the same, but we all know assumptions can be dangerous so I figured I would ask.
