.45ACP 230gr +P HST anyone?

I like that round, when I get my 1911 those are going in my self defense mags.


In a defensive sistuation you want every advantage you can get, and those things look pretty potent.

If I habve to double tap, so be it.

i hope that if you NEED to double tap, you HAVE the time to do so! the problem arises when you have two people who have other plans for your life (as in ending it), and you have to double tap to put the first one down. for my money, i will shoot a round that will do the job with one shot if it is possible. reguardless of cost. my gun has no problem feeding hollow points, and realisticly, even if they were $5.00 a round, how little is your life worth? what about your wife, or childrens life?

I use .40s&w 180gr HST for my .40s. Love the stuff. I use Federal HST or Speer Gold Dots exclusively for all my JHP needs. Both are great. The Winchester Ranger T. looks pretty decent too.

Nice pics btw!

Federal did decide to restrict direct sales to LE, however there is more to the story. I believe it had more to do with money, since they created a new brand under which to sell/market to civilians. Do a little search for "Homeland Defender's" Fear No Evil ammo. It's essentially HST in a newly branded 20rd box at the same price as the standard stuff sold in 50rd boxes.

$30 for 50 rounds of premium ammo ain't a bad price. If you can buy premium ammo at better prices, please share.

/Now we are talking!

All that worries me is overpenetration and ricochets.

Hollow points should reduce the risk if I am doing my part.
