Just got a new baby, Sig 230. I was wondering what you guys who have them or the 232 carry in it. I usually use Corbon, Gold Dot or Hydrashok. I have never really liked Golden sabers. Or should I get some Glazers? What do you guys (and gals) use?

I consistently get really good results from Hyda Shoks :)

I have had good luck with the top 3, Corbon, Gold Dot or Hydrashok any should be fine. I would try the Hydrashok I have always liked the name:D

In a 380 I might just go with FMJ.

I had some horrible results with Glasers in a revolver some years back. In an auto I'd haave to shoot a couple of magazines through it to be comfortable and that's expensive. I have noticed some positive reviews lately, so YMMV. Just be sure to test them in your gun before carrying.

Someone just posted a thread on Remington Golden Sabers - looked pretty decent to me. I do like Gold Dots though. FMJ will penetrate as Tim points out and should be as reliable as all get out.

I have only one .380ACP. A Colt Mustang Pocketlite. It's the pistol in which I first tested RBCD Ammunition. Since that first test, I've always kept my Mustang loaded with RBCD's. I never had a malfunction, and the RBCD's are not hollow points. They go into the chamber "slick as a whistle". I've recently made a few changes to my Mustang and I have to do some more testing now, however the changes I've made seem to make the pistol work even more slickly than before. Those changes being the addition of a SM&A titanium guide rod and extra strength (only one pound) Wolff one piece guide rod spring.

I have a Sig 230 that doesn't like Hydra-Shoks for some reason but never has a problem with Gold Dots or Golden Sabers. Those are my favorites. Mike
