What do you prefer? Do you buy into the hype of the million $$ super rounds? Do you just use plan hardball ammo?
What is your flavor?
I don't really buy the hype.
The purpose of the ammunition is to punch a hole, and preferably 2 holes. (One in and one out)
Statistically, in a gun fight, 8 out of 10 shots miss the intended target. to me this means that these missed shots are a lot more deadly than one that passes through the bad guy, so I really don't worry about "Over-penetration"
Depending on what I am wearing and what time of year it is I either carry a 1911 A1 .45 or a .357 magnum Snubby.
I have JHP's in both guns, but I buy what I can get reasonably.If they expand, GREAT, but if they don't I have enough power to do the job. Right now I have Winchester 230 grain JHP's in the .45 and Blazer Brass 158 grain JHP's the the .357.
When I go camping I take the .357 with 158 grain FMJ for bears :what
Not to hunt them, just as protection if needed)
I shoot what I practice with and what I can afford. (I have no desire to re-load)
To each his own. :dude:
