Go to ammo

[jre]

What's your go to ammo for your personal defense gun? I used to be a Federal Hydra Shok guy when it came to my 1911, but then I met the Hornady TAP and fell in love. It's expensive, but nothing else has come close to the accuracy and reliability.

I usually buy South African 45 ammo...can't remember the brand name though....hollow point of course!

Winchester Ranger 9mm 127gr SXT +P+

hits hard. Basicly it's the old black talon without the teflon coat and bad press.

.40 Hydra-Shok

That's what I use as well!

 

[Andytex]

I like Black Talons in my .45 and Hydra shocks in my .40

Now when my bad guys are protected by a bulldozer blade I use those bullets from Lethal Weapon 3 (I think it was three).

armor-piercing bullets which Murtaugh refers to as "Cop Killers".

Hate to bust the myth, but Conical 9mm AP rounds can't punch heavy steel like that and were not designed to go through a vest either, although they can. It was designed by Cops aka LAPD Swat to go through car winshilds and doors without major changes in trajectory. Very sucky part of them is they are hole punchers and are lusy at taking a person down quickly.

Oh yea, and the possesion of any AP round designed for a pistol is a Felony.
also poisoned or explosive for those who are curious.
