I've used Aguila (115 and 124 gr FMJ) in all of my 9mm pistols (PF-9, Taurus PT111, and HiPoint C9) and in my HiPoint 9mm carbine. It is slightly dirtier than say PMC or Remington, but not enough to cause any problems.
I've tried the Aguila HPs as well. They functioned well in the PF-9, but due to the poor design of the bullet, I would NOT consider using them for self defense.
Aguila and PMC are my choices for target rounds. Here in the Tidewater VA area, I can usually find one or the other for between $9 and &11 for a box of 50.
Give them a try. I think you'll like them.
