A simple solution that didn't occur to me, kudos.

There is also those rounds that would work well that way.

Use fmj in the winter. Common knowledge among the .380 crowd since that caliber has more issues with this then the 9mm. Is much less common problem with 9mm. I bet they were using a low recoil, low muzzle flash quick burn powder with a lower velocity.

Those cops had Speer Gold Dot 124gr+p, a highly recommended round and one I stocked up on.

Please keep in mind, +p ammo will put more stress on your hardware. Cops use it because they don't shoot their service pistols often enough to damage it before it gets replaced.

Neat. One dept i'm familiar with use federal Hydra-Shok 135 gr . Slower and heavier and more succeptable to opening prematurely. Supposedly lower recoil and lower muzzle flash. I hear they are mainly chosen for the low muzzle flash as most police shootings happen at night.

The other dept I'm familiar is using the fed hydra-shock but in .357 sig. They went with that round for the low recoil as the female officers had trouble with the recoil from the 357sig.
