Those of you who carry & have field tested self-defense ammo through Smith M&P series - particularly full-size 9mm - does your pistol have any strong likes, dislikes with regard to brand, bullet weight, design, etc?
I'm in the holding pattern for my Texas CHL, so it's time to start field-testing. Before I start buying stuff, I thought I would ask here first.
I'm leaning toward Federal's HST (if I can find it) or Winchester Ranger (ditto). Both are available in 124 grain (standard and +P) HPs, and I know Federal has a 147 grain HP. I think the Ranger has one, also.
I know the FBI tests show the 147 to be a "better" round, but I'm open to what runs and is affordable.
Thanks,
