BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Defense:
1. Cor-Bon JHP 150gr or 2. Win. SilverTip 155gr. Still have some HydraShocks, but prefer the other two. If I have the .357 SIG Barrel in, just carry Federal JHPs.

Just answer the door in your unerwear and shave cream......they tend not want come back............oh...and don't forget the straight razor.:yes:
At the range and for IDPA matches, where I shoot a Glock-21, for the most part I shoot Winchester "White Box" 230gr ball from Wally's World [chronos about 825fps, it's cheap and shoots fairly well]. I'm stockpiling MagTech 230 ball when I can find it and working towards reloading, but it takes time to gather all the tools.
For carry, I'm partial to Speer 230gr GoldDot... there's just SOMETHING about a flying ashtray... heheheh! For the Smith 638 Airweight it's, again, the GoldDot, Shortbarrel +P. I also have a good supply of Federal 230gr Hydra-Shok that I got from an LEO friend when his department switched their duty ammo to the Federal HST. I've carried the Corbon PowRBall, but personal testing [bound water-soaked phone books] showed inconsistent expansion. That's when I made the GoldDot change.
Check six. ~(*_*)~
When all else fails, align the sights on the target and press the trigger. -J. Michael Plaxco

When I shot at the range, I would shoot up whatever I had in my mags (gold dot, JHP or whatever; in other words the good stuff).
After that was done, I shot whatever I had on hand, usually FMJ, sometimes reloads.
When I left the range, more of the good stuff went in the mags.
