What kind of ammo do you use with your CCW? (Take 2)

[Duramaximum]

Thanks for the feedback on the other poll, everybody. Here's a better poll with more options.

Of those listed, I carry Speer in my .357 snubby most of the time, but right now I have some soft-point hunting loads left over from deer season. I figure if they do the business on a whitetail buck, they're more than enough.

I carry cheapo Winchester hollow points in my Glock 26. I've read all the blather about ballistics, about 9mm vs. .40 vs .45, blah, blah, blah. When dealing with a handgun, especially one that is too small to take a deer legally in Minnesota, from what I've seen hunting shot placement is about 1000 times more important than any of that Internet mental masturbation.

i still use jacketed hollow point handloads.

 

[The-Fly]

Federal HST 147gr in my G26.

 

[Ala Dan]

I will stick with the .45 caliber, 200 grain Hornady JHP T.A.P. ammo,
and that is my final answer~!

 

[RyanM]

Golden Sabers. Very consistent terminal performance. Very accurate. Very reliable feeding.

 

[woerm]

no entry for my mix

Hornady jhp and umc fmj 60 gr and 71 respectively .32 acp two fmj with jhp/fmj mix in the rest of the stack (fmj in the pipe).
Objective is feeds all the time with some enhanced stopping power

stats are most 'shootouts' run < 3 rounds so accuracy and hitting is primary concern.

I answered Winchester SXT when in reality it is Winchester RA9T. As I understand it the SXT is an older version of the RA9T

 

[Infidel]

Winchester 175 gr. Silvertips

 

[Stickjockey]

>checks magazine< Yup. Still Gold Dots.

 

[EddieCoyle]

Remington 158gr +P LSWCHP

+1 on the Golden Sabers. Best feeding HP's I've used. Available in +P for when I'm in the great outdoors.

 

[Langenator]

Georgia Arms, although the actual bullets in the cartridge are Gold Dots.
