Self Defense / Carry Ammo

[titanse05]

Hydrashocks were great in their day but their time is long past. Federal HST, Winchester Ranger T, or Speer Gold Dots are the best choices out their currently in that order. 230grain HST are what I carry.

Same here for my 1911s and I carry buffalo bore 185gr +P and fiocchi +p and some Remy golden saber all in JHP in my USP

Ranger T's in the full size and Ranger T +p in the compact. But I would carry a good flat nose fmj if I had 'em.

That's what I was looking for! Thanks!

I carry Hornady 185gr Critical Defense, Pow'R Ball and Hydroshocks 230gr

Hydro's are still a good mean round!!

Black Talons in my 45, 135 Double tap in my 10mm.

Been loading my own for a long time, setteled on Hornady XTP and or Speer Gold Dot 200 gr HP. Dialed in at 975 to 995 FPS. I like the penetration and expansion characteristics at this speed and the recoil is nominal.

+P 230 HST's

Best price I've found is at:

-OR a little higher-

I've ordered from and been happy with both of them in the past.

I think we put too much emphasis on hollow point rounds in the 45acp. Ball ammo has proven itself to be very effective for over 100 years. And I have yet to see a 1911 fail to function with it (or very dern few).

But that's just me.
