Wondering what loading everyone likes in their home defense/carry/issue handgun. I'm specifically looking for 9mm, .40SW, and .38 Spec (for a Detective Special) loadings.
I know a couple federal agencies issue the 165gr Speer Gold Dot for .40 S&W...but I suppose I'm most interested in first or second-hand experience with terminal effects from LEOs or those who have had to use their weapon.
I know a couple ball rounds properly placed would ruin the day of any bad guy, but considering the marginal cost increase for quality ammunition and what would be at stake in a true defense situation I want to know what the professionals and experts use.
Thanks!
