I only use Speer for SD ammo so i dont have any compatisons. It is accurate in my 229.

Speer Gold Dot! I wont say it is the best but it has steet testing that very few other ammos can claim. It is has been used by alot by LEO both domestic and internationaly. It has been tested on the street with great results for alot of years. They also make a version desighned for short...

Over Penetrate. If you are concered about the background, dont pull the trigger. Chances are a high percentage of your shots will miss anyway.

For CCW and Home Defense. DA or DA/SA. Stick with the heavier trigger and longer action. Leave the light trigger for targets. If i am in a self defense scenerio the stress is high and adreniline even higher. For home defense where the precieved intruder may be family or friends, i do not want...

This sunday is 3 gun fun match. P226, AR15, Beretta 1301 comp and 200 rounds of ammo.

My therpy is Friday. sig P226 at local clup practical pistol.

Im always stocking up. Biggest problem is im shooting as fast as im stocking

My sig gets very little oil. A drop from a needle oiler on internal parts a few times a year. A BB size of grease on rail. A couple drops of CLP in barrel and wiped clean. Use a silicone cloth for exterior. Anything more just holds dirt and grime that can be abrasive. I might be more...

Congrats. Great gun. I love my p220 even if it is not made in Germany.

Speer gold dot. Dont know if it is the best but but is very commonly used by LEO. It is a tried and true field tested ammo.

Wow, you guy are passionate about this. Here is my un professional opinion. #1. Pick the right gun. If your not carring it, nothing else matters. #2. Practice Practice Practice. Caliber doesnt matter if you cant hit the target under high stress and adreniline rush. #3. Pick a premium...

It only needs to be cleaned if you want it to work when you need it. The real question is how often.

Penitration has more to do with bullet design. A premium ammo will match bullet design and velocity to get optimal performance. Most good SD ammo is bonded FMJ and will expand reliably transfering its energy to the target. Higher velosity norally results in rapid expansion leaving a bigger...

Im a sig guy. I have a 226, 229, and 220. Never had a ftf or jam, even in the ammo shortage days when i ran the cheapest, dirtiest ammo on the market.

357. Great round If 5 rounds isnt enough i recommend allot more range time. In a legit self defense (not shtf) by 5 round the bad guy will flee or be ontop you.
