What's your poison.

I just wanted some ideas on ammo. What's a good brand for a G22?

I have some Federal HydroShock 135 Grain. But I was under the impression that that kind of ammo was better for the G27; less recoil. What's your opinion?

I use Federal 147gr HST in 9mm. Do a search on here and you will find a couple threads on it. It is some nice stuff. It's cheaper and performs a lot better than Hydrashoks.

I use a Federal "LEO Only" 155gr JPG for my Kahr CW-40. Recoil is MUCH worse than it is with 180gr ammunition.

I always used 180 grain Hydroshocks. Always reliable and pretty darn accurate. I dropped a opossum at over 50 yards with one shot from my 22. It helped that I shot a few carry loads at 50 and 100 yards that day, but those around seeing it down didn't know that.

Hornady 180 XTP over a few grains of Vihtavouri 3N37. (yeah, I carry my handloads, go suck a railroad spike, courts' got nothin on me!)

With the longer barrel you can get the most out of the mid-heavy weight 40 cal rounds. 165gr seems to be the ticket for most-good balance of velocity and penetration with exceptional expansion. Remington Golden Sabers (bonded preferred), Speer Gold Dots, Federal HSTs and Winchester Rangers are all very good rounds and used by many Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs).

I have shot the 165gr Gold Dots and Golden Sabers (both bonded and non) and all have been very reliable and accurate.
