If your gun is in good condition it can safely shoot all standard 9mm ammo. Re-manufactured ammo is a whole different story. If you want to blow up your gun buy reman ammo, or reloads at a gun show. I tried the whole reman ammo thing when things were bad. It wasn't worth using back then and it isn't worth using now. Stick with factory new ammo.

While I'm sure Federal wouldn't try and cut corners on their designs, the 9mm, which originated in 1902, was designed for bullets around 125 grains more or less. Going to a 150 grain bullet means you're increasing the weight/mass, and so the recoil of the gun backwards will be proportional to the amount of lead coming out the front. So: Combining the heaviest 9mm bullet ever offered in a factory loading with a mini, or worse yet, micro design pistol sounds like pain to me. And that is really self defeating, because the last thing you want to set yourself up for not liking how your EDC gun feels when you shoot it with your carry ammo. That is one gremlin you don't want stuck inside your head if TSHTF.

The 150gr HST is actually the same as the 147gr HST. When I say “the same”, I mean that it’s the same bullet and it’s actually 147gr. Federal only sells 150gr commercially (and not to LE), because it’s a marketing ploy. It gets people interested in a “new” round that isn’t new. This comes straight from a top level person with Federal.
