I have several different reasons for choosing the types of ammunition I have in my arsenal.
First off, I have Glaser #6 slugs for my top choice. Being as expensive as they are, they are worth every penny from what I saw on Mythbusters, as well as the online support and recommendations from other members and fellow Marines. These are the most deadliest rounds I have, and in my 16 rd mag, I have my first round being this one, and my last round for security, in case it gets that bad. You will never know. 4 rds total.
My next choice is Federal Premium HydraShok Hollow Points. I fell in love with these after I actually saw the damage they done to ballistics gel. And also from online support and friends that CC everyday. If it gets really bad, they'll have to pick out the starfish from whats left of them. This is what I use in between my Glasers in my 16 rd mags. So a total of 28 rds on my capacity.
Then, my 3rd choice is CCI's Shot shells. I have one whole 16 rd mag dedicated to these rounds, just for lethality reasons. Indoors, and close to point blank range. After 10 yds, no real damage is done. From what I have seen, and what I have shot, they are powerful. 16 total.
Then, my 4th choice, is a FMJ. Any brand will do, that is my 10 rd mag. Full from top to bottom, I either use these for practice or for CC, only I keep 10 rds on me of FMJ's. Just because if I ever do use them, they are my last resort, as the other rounds will either dissipate before leaving the body, where as FMJ's will go right through, almost armor piercing. Just in case, I don't want any innocent people getting hurt, only the evil doers. 10 total.
So, all in all, 58 rds total I carry on person everyday. But I am not even at half load (considering a full combat load is 180+ rds). I am trying to get to 90 rds, so at least half load.
I am not trying to pick a fight, I am just asking for opinions and what they carry or recommend. I have alot of experience using rifle ammunition (armor piercing, ball, blanks, etc.), but I am lacking in the pistol dept. I would like more info (if any) and see what else is out there that I missed. I am trying to get a wide array of ammunition for my arsenal, in case $hit ever breaks out. I'll be ready.
