Handgun Day: Every Pistol Deal Worth Grabbing Before It’s Gone


Day Two: The Handguns Take the Counter

AMMO+ Day is our five-day storewide sale — it kicked off Wednesday 9/17 and runs through Sunday 9/21, with a different slate of headline deals each day. Today is Handgun Day, and we did the homework the same way we did on Day 1: we ran the math on every pistol-caliber deal in the sale and kept only the ones actually worth your money.

The theme today is simple: carry it or run it. Every serious shooter needs two cases — the HST or Gold Dot case you stake your life on, and the range case you burn through until you trust the first one. Today’s slate pairs them up in 9mm, 45 ACP, 40 S&W, 380, and 38 Special, with three clearance deals sitting at 50.8% off.

Every price below is the live slate price. No inflated “regular” prices, no games.

BONUS: AMMO+ membership is 50% off during the sale — $49.99 for the year, regularly $99. Members stack an extra 10–18% below every sale price on this page. On most of these cases, that extra discount alone out-earns the membership fee. First case, paid for. We’ll show the math.

The $49.99 Cheat Code, Explained

Here’s how the whole event works, in three sentences. Everyone gets the public sale price — no membership required, no gimmicks. AMMO+ members then stack an extra member-only discount (10–18% depending on the product) below that sale price. And during AMMO+ Day only, the membership itself is half off: $49.99 for the year instead of $99.

Why we call it a cheat code — worked on today’s headliner:

The math on ONE case of HST 9mm 147gr (P9HST2)
Regular case price$699.80
AMMO+ Day sale price (everyone gets this)$599.00
AMMO+ member price$539.10
Member-only extra savings on this one case$59.90
AMMO+ membership, half off right now$49.99

The member-only discount on a single case is $59.90 — more than the $49.99 membership costs. Buy one case of carry ammo and the membership has already paid for itself, before you count the $160.70 that case is under regular price. Every case after that is pure gravy — today, and for the next three days of this sale.

One more thing that makes case-buying painless: bulk ammo ships free. Details on the bulk ammo page.


Today’s Handgun Slate: Carry It or Run It

Twelve deals, ranked. Between them they carry 5,600+ verified customer reviews, and we quote those customers verbatim below — typos, gripes, and all. That honesty is the whole point.

AvailabilityStacked deep — but so is demand

This is the headliner for a reason: the 147gr HST is the subsonic, soft-shooting duty load that anchored our 9mm vs 45 ACP showdown as “the defense standard,” and 2,285 verified buyers rate it 4.92/5. At the member price you’re carrying genuine duty ammo for about 54 cents a round — range-ammo money a few years ago.

“Only brand I carry in my defensive handguns- its reliable and accurate. If my life depends on it I am confident this would get the job done. Love the availability of ammo that TSUSA provides to customers at a discount price. Free shipping with Prime.”

— Mark M., verified buyer

“I tested this ammo alongside other hollow points. I definitely like it. For a 147 grain, the recoil is mild and the ammo is very clean and clean burning. Praying I never have to use it. Shot out of my Beretta M92FS and KelTec Sub 2000. Shoots very well.”

— Samuel O., verified buyer

And because we quote customers verbatim even when it stings — here’s a three-star we could have buried:

“The 147 grain loads will not cycle reliably in my M&P compact and isn’t accurate from the M&P compact. It is very accurate and reliable when fired from my 3rd gen S&W autos” – Daniel J. (3 stars)

That’s exactly why you buy a full case and run a few boxes through your pistol before it rides in the holster.

If HST is one pillar of the duty-ammo world, the 124gr +P Gold Dot is the other — the load a huge share of American law enforcement actually carries, rated 4.89/5 by 1,040 buyers. Prefer the faster, snappier 124 +P over a heavy 147? This is your case, and the member-only extra here is $59.98 — again, more than the membership.

“Great carry ammo. I’ve never had a Gold-Dot malfunction on me when training so I have confidence that they won’t if they’re really needed. The extra snap of these +P loads is authoritative and stands out when shooting with others with regular load 9mm ammo.”

— Jared C., verified buyer

“Fantastic every day carry ammo. Fully deploys hollow point out of a 3.1 inch barrel into simulated targets. Fantastic price as well when it is in stock! My local outfitter sells these $40 for 20 rounds. You can get 50 rounds for that price at TS USA.”

— Bryan B., verified buyer

“Used this to break in my new Shadow Systems MR920 – zero issues. Fed reliably, consistent performance, accurate. Pricier than range ammo but worth it for confidence in your defensive load. Quality LE-grade ammunition that did exactly what it should.”

Same 147gr HST bullet as the headliner with a +P push behind it — best out of a full-size pistol, and its 4.93/5 average across 145 reviews is the highest rating on today’s slate. A 500-round case is the right size if you rotate carry ammo yearly and don’t need a full thousand.

“This round opened up superbly and penetrated sufficiently in my testing. Back in the day I was not an advocate of heavy for caliber 9mm ammunition, but this HST offering from Federal has changed my opinion. This is ammunition you can count on when it counts.”

— Benny E., verified buyer

“Great stuff. It’s just slightly faster than the regular 147 grain. Out of my 3.3” micro it comes in at about 11.5 ft/s faster. Felt recoil isn’t much greater either. This load would shine best out of a full size handgun.”

— Vivian M., verified buyer

“Some of the best defensive 9mm period. Price on this is steep however it’s 1 of 2 of the best JHP loads currently so can’t complain to much given it’s competitor isn’t even available to the civilian market and whent it does pop on GB it’s 65 a box”

— Ryan D., verified buyer

The math again: AMMO+ is $49.99 right now, half off. The member-only discount on one HST or Gold Dot case above is $59.90+. This is not a hard decision.

At 23.4 cents a round, this is the ammo you burn so the expensive stuff never surprises you.

“Best range ammunition I’ve purchased from Target Sports. Not as cheap as some of the other brands TS offers, but great quality and performance. Brass casings, no malfunctions. I’ll buy this whenever it’s available.”

— Stephen T., verified buyer

“Overall very usable, and it’s a great value. Only major downside is it shoots extremely dirty, with certain rounds expelling large plumes of black smoke. Would still rather save money and clean my gun a little more often.”

— Brad T., verified buyer

“Good ammo, but my M&P Sheild X carry comp has issues cycling it on occasion. No issues with the 124 grain NR ammo though. 124 grain Magtech and Blazer also cycle flawlessly. 1k plus rounds has been cycled through gun.”

— James R., verified buyer

Two honest four-star reviews in a row, quoted on purpose — it runs a little dirty, and one comped micro-pistol was picky. 607 buyers still land it at 4.81/5 for a reason: the price-to-bang ratio is hard to argue with.

The biggest-dollar carry-ammo cut of the day: $210.90 off a case of the 230gr +P HST we crowned “the defense standard, big-bore division” in our 9mm vs 45 ACP comparison. If you carry a 45 that runs +P, 547 reviewers at 4.92/5 say this is the one.

“I’ve decided to switch to the HST from Gold Dot for this ammo rotation after seeing all the gel tests, reviews and reading actual reports of this round being used in defensive shootings. Also to mention that DHS is now using HST for their carry ammunition.”

— David R., verified buyer

“Ok, here we go. 100 rounds sent through a Kimber Stainless II 1911 and 1 fail to feed. No problem, sling shotted the slide, round chambered and went bang. I was destroying steel plates at 15 and 25 yards withe the greatest of ease. Too easy.”

— Derylle D., verified buyer

“After watching Paul Harrell do a 9mm +p vs. .45 +p comparison, this was all I could find during the pandemic. Ran a few mags recently and it’s stout but not brutal and I was drilling steel at 25yds with irons. It’s solid ammo.”

Welcome to the clearance club — the deepest cuts of the whole event, and members stack a full 18% on these. This one’s engineered to expand out of stubby barrels where standard JHPs get lazy, and at $130.38 for a 200-round case it’s less than half its regular price. Officer’s-frame 1911, Glock 30, XD-S crowd: this is your day.

“This is a great option (one of the best IMHO) for short barrel .45ACPs. Not all hollow points expand consistently in this caliber, but this is one of the few that do, especially out of a 3 inch barrel. Can’t go wrong with the Gold Dots.”

— JAMES K., verified buyer

“Mild recoil, compared to .45 acp ball ammo but, designed to open up and penetrate about 14 inches in F.B.I test media. Overall, a very good round for a short barrel gun like a Kimber CDP or Glock 30. It’s my EDC. 5 stars here.”

— John K., verified buyer

“Not superb accuracy at 25 yards, but good enough. Only one FTF (probably my fault) and still feels kinda hot for a short barrel round , but definitely not as hot as your typical self-defense ammo. Picture is 14 rnds from 21 ft.”

The single biggest You-Save number on today’s slate: $253.87 off a 500-round case of the Hydra-Shok that defined 90s law enforcement. Our own reviewers will tell you HST and Gold Dot are the newer tech — that’s precisely why this is half price, and at roughly 49 cents a round for a proven 180gr JHP, it’s a phenomenal stash-and-train defensive load.

“Really no reason to buy hydra shok anymore since HST is so readily available. But I like to keep a box to get the 90’s nostalgia. My 2 shot average from a G23.4 was 948 FPS. Good stuff.”

— Eric T., verified buyer

“Federal Personal Defense ammo feeds flawlessly in Springfield EMP; excellent knockdown power with easily managed recoil. All this and excellent prices.”

— Fred M., verified buyer

“Good quality without breaking the bank. I prefer Gold Dots or HST’s as they are a little newer bullet technology but this is still high quality ammo.”

— Brent M., verified buyer

One honest note from us: today’s slate has no 40 S&W range fuel, so pair this with the trainer you already run — or let the Hydra-Shok’s price do double duty as practice ammo. Yes, it’s cheap enough for that.

Four Days Left — the Good Stuff Goes First

Counting today, you have four days — the sale wraps after Sunday 9/21. But let’s be honest about how these events actually go: the deepest cuts don’t politely wait for the weekend.

  • Moving fast at time of writing: the Hi-Shok 45, the Gold Dot Short Barrel 45, and the Hydra-Shok 40 are all limited-quantity deals. Two of those are 50.8% off, which is exactly the kind of math that empties a shelf.
  • The clearance trio won’t repeat. When 50.8%-off carry ammo sells through, that’s the end of the story — everything in this sale is while supplies last.
  • The staples are stacked deep, but so is demand. HST cases have a way of looking infinite on Thursday and gone by Saturday night.

Tomorrow is Rifle Day, and the handgun spotlight doesn’t come back around. If a case on this page made you pause, that pause is costing you money.


Handgun Day FAQ


What is AMMO+ Day?

AMMO+ Day is Target Sports USA’s five-day sale running Wednesday 9/17 through Sunday 9/21, 2026. Each day spotlights a different slate of deals — today (Day 2) is Handgun Day — and every featured product shows three prices: regular, sale, and AMMO+ member.

Do I need a membership to get the sale prices?

No. Every sale price on this page is available to everyone. AMMO+ members stack an extra member-only discount — 10–18% depending on the product — below the sale price.

How much is AMMO+ right now?

$49.99 for the year during the sale — half off the regular $99. That’s the headline trick of the whole event: on most featured cases, the member-only extra discount exceeds the membership cost on the very first case.

How does member pricing stack?

Take today’s headliner, the HST 9mm 147gr case: $699.80 regular, $599.00 sale price for everyone, then the member discount takes it to $539.10. That last step — $59.90 — is the members-only part, and it’s bigger than the $49.99 membership.

Does bulk ammo ship free?

Yes — bulk and case-quantity ammo ships free. Every case on this page qualifies. Details on our bulk ammo page.

How long does the sale run?

Through Sunday, September 21 — that’s the last full day. Individual deals can end earlier if inventory sells through.

Are quantities limited?

Everything is while supplies last. On today’s slate the Hi-Shok 45, Gold Dot Short Barrel 45, and Hydra-Shok 40 are limited quantity and moving fast at time of writing; the rest range from healthy to stacked deep.

Should I carry 124 grain or 147 grain in 9mm?

Both are proven — that’s why today’s slate carries the 147gr HST, the 124gr +P Gold Dot, and the 147gr +P HST. The 124 +P is faster and snappier (1,220 fps on the Gold Dot); the standard-pressure 147 is subsonic and softer shooting. Whichever you pick, buy enough to run a couple hundred rounds through your own pistol first — that’s the test that matters, and it’s the whole logic of pairing a carry case with a range case today.

The Counter-Talk Verdict

If we were standing at the counter with you, the play is simple: pick your carry case first — HST 147 or Gold Dot 124 +P in 9mm, the +P HST in 45 — then add the matching practice case while it’s 19% off. If you run a short-barreled 40 or 45, the 50.8% clearance pair is the best value in the entire sale and it will not be there Sunday.
