Sidearms & Scatterguns 1:16 twist OK for 147's?

[Reload10]

Hi- Was wondering if anyone was using a 1:16 twist 9mm barrel and running 147's subsonic successfully? From everything I've googled, some say yes, and some say no... Just want a good answer before I buy a new threaded barrel.

Will this be 100% dedicated to slow subsonic ammo?

I'm always open to learning new things.... I had not heard of a 1:16 in a 9mm....

There have been many 9mm pistols produced with a 16 twist barrel. They can and do perform well with 115, 124 and 147 grain bullets. That said, it led the company I worked for to change from 16 to 10 twist to improve accuracy. Oh, and I'm talking handguns instead of PCC carbines or AR type pistols.
