Best Defensive Round .45 & 9mm

[Guest Patty]

I would say the one that hits target, any hollow point would do the job.

Yeah, that's the trick with about any ammo ATM. i usually get mine online from:

- Streichers.com Police Equipment Supply Headquarters - 800-367-3763

or

M.A.H. SUPPLIES LLC.

I don't think I have ever seen a local guy carry any of this. The new Winchester PDX stuff also looks good.

I just ordered the HST in 9mm & .45 ACP, both in +p. Thanks!

Why does Federal mark the HST ammo as Law Enforcement? You have to go to a different website to even find information about HST verses the main Federal site.

LE - Home

Are there any laws the prevent purchasing of ammo that is marked Law Enforcement?

Winchester/ Ranger 230gr if you like to make large holes.

My guess is liability and marketing. With the sue happy anti's out there if they "market" to "civilians" they could appear negligent.

ON a little more sinister note - limiting availability lets them keep higher prices.

It also allows them to make sure they have enough to fill lucrative LE orders first.

No laws regarding this. Buy away!

You stole my thunder. FMJ .45 is a relatively ineffective load as are most FMJ loads regardless of size. Thats why the JHP was invented.

No laws that I'm aware of, but that doesn't keep the vendor from having their own restrictions. The "Cop Killer" bullets were restricted by the vendor to LEO's only.

From my understanding it is 63%
