What SD ammo do you carry?

[BLA]

Hey everyone I was wondering what ammo do you carry in your handguns and why. I am trying to find a new one that meets FBI standards in barrier tests. I believe that I should be prepared for anything so I want something proven to work in most situations. Thanks

Hornady Critical Defense. I've been a big fan of the expansion results.

ALL I carry is Winchester Supreme Elite Bonded PDX1 124 grain JHP 9mm. I have shot some Golden Sabers, some Hornaday CD ammo, but none of it shoots as well (IMO) as the Winchester. I simply trust it. And the gun is dead on with it.

Been thinking about trying some of that.

I like 135gr Federal Hydra-Shocks, and 124gr TAP Hornaday.

9mm 147gr Federal HST JHP. Why? Because it is proven to expand reliably up to a half inch in diameter, and penetrates up to 12" right through most test tissue. Google it for comparison to other 9mm loads, it is superior. I also use HST 124GR +P, and Winchester Ranger SXT Talons in 147gr. Show me something better and I'll buy it.

Hornady Critical Defense 45 ACP and Winchester 38+P hollow points.

If it's not on this list, I wouldn't use it.
