I took a large amount of hardball to do the mandatory shooting for the CCW class. When we were all done and ready to leave I loaded my mag with hardball and the instructor asked, " you are not carrying hardball? are you?
In the class he stated many instances where hardball was ineffective. Guy shoots bg with 5 rds of 45 hb, bg shoots gg with .22lr and gg dies, bg goes to hosp on his own power. Bg takes multiple rds of 45 hb in the back and lives. Etc,etc,etc. Don`t get me wrong, good instructor, he just hates hardball. Says carry hp`s. No hb. I always thought hardball was VERY effective. I know I know, shot placement, shot placement.
I carry either a SA 1911A1 or a PARA P14 both in 45acp.
