Self Defense / Carry Ammo

[AutoMag]

If I carry my 1911 chambered in 45ACP it is always 230 grain FMJ ammo, nothing in my opinion is any better.

If I carry my Delta Elite chambered in 10MM then it is Hornady Custom 200 grain JHP XTP.

As for reloading, I've tried so far; Hornady Crit.Def. bullets, Hornady XTPs, Gold Dots and some Federal bullet. All failed one way or another. None of the mentioned bullets gave decent,consistant performance, even when driven at 900+FPS.

I use Hornady Crit Def in my .45 and apparently some very pricey Black Talon in my 9mm(4 clips - wait magazines worth).
