Yes Dennis. The National Match Series have the feed ramp that is both polished and angled correctly to reliably feed even wide HP 9mm ammunition. The only issue with HP's would be with magazines that followers don't set the top round at a proper raised angle. Not many, but a few ones exist. (You will know these as the top round will sit almost flat which could be a bad follower or worn out mag springs.

It should but you can always get a gun that may not like hp bullets if you do either Colt or a good gunsmith will be able to fix the issues. They are mass produced guns and sometimes individual guns of all makes have issues in my 1911 9mm I have found the metalform mags to be the best at a reasonable price

Dennis, Most modern semi-auto pistols will handle HP ammo, some brands better than others. I do a lot of reloading and I have 9mm handguns in almost every major brand. I've found great success reloading with HP bullets from Nosler, Hornady XTP, Rock Mountain Reloading, Berry's Bullets. Speer and a couple other brands. I've also used factory loaded HPs from Remington, Hornady, Federal, Sig V-Crown and PPU without any hiccups. The key in my mind is where the tapering of the tip begins and how steep the tapering angle is. You can't do too much about you magazines or the gun itself other than polish the feed ramp to help the bullet slip into the chamber with a little less friction. Although I do not have a 1911-style pistol in 9mm, I do have one (Ruger SR1911 Commander) in 45ACP and I've used Hornady XTP HPs in 230 gr without any issues. Most 1911 style 9mm are generally scaled down 45ACP replica versions so I strongly suspect HPs will work with you pistol. I would suggest that you purchas

Hi Dennis, Yes no issues at all with the HP loads. Try the Nosler.

These are the best 1911 9mm mags I have found the ramped front helps with feeding of non ball ammo Metalform Magazine 1911 Government, Commander 9mm Luger 9-Round Stainless Steel Matte Flat Follower Welded Base Front Ramp Configuration Product #: 832886 Metalform #: 9FR-794 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/832886/metalform-magazine-1911-government-commander-9mm-luger-9-round-stainless-steel-matte-flat-follower-welded-base-front-ramp-configuration

I tend to stick with XTP or Sig V Crown Hps in my 9mm 1911s, just aids in feeding vs. wide mouth HP rounds.
