I usually buy federal premium personal defense - anyone have any reason to use something else?

I like to run a couple hundred rounds of good quality ammo to see what my Glock 1 likes to eat and 2 Gives me the tightest shot group. Right now I use Speer Lawman for DC. I know alot of gunners like Speer Gold Dot also. Just try diffrent good quality ammo and find what works best for you.

I usually get the federal also... works well so far. I'll probably mix it up a little bit tho in the future.

 

[BowhuntnHoosier]

Right now I carry Black Talons or some Black Hills JHP's. Also carry an extra mag with FMJ's.

 

[btm_54]

American Eagle 145gr ( Federal I think)

 

[btm_54]

I would love to be able to get Black Hills

 

[dprice77]

I shoot 147 gr federal hydros out of my 9mms and cor bon 125 gr hp out of my 357 sig converted G23.

Interesting pic for this thread, IMO --

I carry the Winchester Ranger T's in all my carry guns. Second choice to that would be the Federal HST's, if I could find the darn things.

Carried Golden Sabers before I found the Rangers though, and they functioned very well through the Glocks.

I carry Georgia Arms ... 124gr. Gold Dots +P

Nice photo, thanks for posting. what caliber and weight are these rounds? I always used to carry Hydroshoks 147gr for my G19, finally found a few boxes of HST's, and just picked up a case of 500 rds of Ranger T's all 147 gr.

 

[Loudcherokee]

I think they're 230 grain .45ACP if I'm not mistaken. The photo isn't mine, so I'm not sure.

WOW! I didn't think .45 would expand like that. Have to rethink again maybe.

 

[rmeron]

Remington Golden Sabre 230gr 45 for carry and any 230gr ball for practice.

 

[Skipster]

I am loading Winchester Ranger RA40TA 165gr 40 S&W in all my carry guns for SD. Works great in both my G27 and G22 Gen4.

Well it depends on the season and which gun Im carrying. That and just what I was able to get at the local gun stores, which tend to be sparse on ammo for some reason.
If its winter, its the only time Ill carry my G20 or G21SF in a shoulder holster because Im wearing bulker clothing. The 20 houses 175gr. Winchester Silvertips and the 21 houses 165gr. Hydra-Shoks.

Ill carry either my G23 or my 2 & 1/8th" S&W M60 .357 no matter the season. I run 180gr Winchester Ranger ammo (which by the rumors Ive heard is what Black Talon use to be). and the M60 wheels Speer Short Barrel 135gr. GDHPs.

And, If Im feeling lucky while playing around out on the country side when its cold, Ill sometimes carry my 6" S&W M57 with 210gr. slugs for bad aminals and bad guy the like of which wanna do me harm.

This. The hunt for the magic bullet is just like the hunt for the magic caliber and the elusive mystifying one shot stop. Find a good quality hollow point that works well in your gun, that you can afford to practice with every once in a while and it will be fine. Worry more about shot placement than the magic bullet or caliber

 

[99gsspyder]

Im partial to Hornady TAP and Critical Defense, the price isnt too bad and I have never had a single problem with accuracy or dependability in any caliber that ive shot it in.

 

[G23SNT]

I keep Winchester PDX1 and Federal Hydra Shocks... After seeing the picture above, I gotta get some Ranger T's


G23

 

[dirtys0uthfl1]

Always been a big fan of Federal Hydra Shoks, 165 grain for my 23. I prefer the low recoil 135 grain version for my Glock 27. Definitely will have to check out some Rangers.

Been looking and I can not find the Winchester Ranger T's in stock any place and can't find the HST at all, unless I am looking up the wrong ammo. Or I should say are these "Ranger SXT", if so canI get them in 124G that are not +P+?

Also what grain where these?
