What brand of ammunition do you use in your carry weapon?

[TGO David]

In the past I've tried Federal Hydra-Shok (9mm and 40SW) and Cor-Bon (40SW) , but since I started carrying a 45acp sidearm I've switched to Speer Gold Dot in 195gr. What are the rest of you using and do you have any particular reason why you use it?

[Punisher84]

Hyrda shok +p in my .38, Cor-Bon 147 grain in my 9mm, Speer Gold Dot in my .380.

[Guest GT_Rat]

Hydrashok in .40 and .45. Just because.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

El-Cheapo! Winchester I think.

Double-Tap in all carry-guns:

.357sig: 147gr Gold-Dot @ 1250fps - 510ft-lb, from 4" barrel

.45gap: 185gr Gold-Dot @ 1150fps - 543ft-lb, from a 4.5" barrel

.45acp: 230gr Gold-Dot @ 1010fps - 521ft-lb, from a 5" barrel

They are loaded to higher velocity than most, within SAAMI pressures, using the best (IMHO) bonded-JHP bullet available (Speer Gold-Dot). Fairly in-expensive too, compared to some of the big-brand makers who price for high profit-margins. (free shipping on 1000+rd, too)

I carry Federal 165gr EFMJ's in my .45 Auto-Ordnance.

They are very reliable and work like they are suppose to.

[Guest db99wj]

Federal 165 Grain Hydra-shok JHP Personal Defense ammo.

Price basically. I figure if I ever have to use it, the most important thing is hitting center mass, if I can do that, it doesn't matter if a have the most expensive or reloads, as long as there is a boom and my XD spits, I'm good.

200grn Hornaday TAP ->->-> http://www.hornady.com/story.php?s=149

[James Yeager]

CorBon Pow-R-Ball and DPX

[GhostDog]

357 Magnum: CorBon DPX

9mm: DPX or Federal Nyclad

The Nyclad is standard pressure but packs an all lead bullet (easily deforms).

I use: 45acp ... 230 gr. Hydra-shoks but I'm not adverse to using others that feed well. I do stick with 230 grains though.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Winchester Personal Defense in my XD-45.

Federal Hydrashoks in my XD-9.

Is the Winchester Personal Protection any good? I seen it at Wally world for like $18.87 for 50rds. Is it worth the money?

[Clone]

+1 for Winchester JHP's. i use 147gr in 9mm and 230gr in 45acp. i like to use what i can afford to practice with. the Winchester HP's seem to perform the best of the cheap stuff, according to the tests iv seen and done.

[wareagle]

CorBon Pow-R-Ball and DPX

very good choice!

Thanks for the info. But is there any cheaper for just target practice? Now I use theReloads in the orange box. But I heard they would void a Glock Factory Warranty (if they found out)! Is that true?

[Clone]

for cheap plinking i use what ever FMJ is cheap at the time(CCI, winchester, remington). for defence practice i like to use the same weight that im going to carry for defence, because the point of impact will be differant for differant weight rounds.
