Right now my G19 is loaded with 127 +P+ Ranger T with a backup magazine loaded with WWB 147 grain JHP.
I prefer 147 grain Ranger T or 147 grain Gold Dot though.

Sounds to me like either would be good options. Which one can you afford to shoot more so you can get in more practice with your carry load? If it ever fails, then you can try the other.

if i was to carry... which i cant legally do in my part of PRK, id have winchester ranger .45 in my lightweight commander or sig 220. ranger .45+P is too harsh. also i might carry hydra shock +P .38 in my 442. hunting pigs i use cast core 275? .44 mags in a ruger carbine and carry a 3 inch 29 with same for coup de grace shots. if i had to use the castcores against 2 legged predators. well.. too bad for them.
theres a guy around here who sells Winchester Rangers by the case lot for VERY good prices.
also check out tacticalforums.com and see what Dr. Gary K Roberts M.D. has to say about certain loads. hes a leading authority on terminal results and would ballistics. a harsh critic of the sanow/marshall bull$hit that was published a few years back.

Most of my guns are loaded with Rem. Golden Sabre.
Some will have various brands of FMJ.
Depends on which gun I pick up.
I subscribe to the theory: It is less important what you hit them with, than that you hit them.
Find a load your gun likes. Shoot it.

Not a HP, but not really a solid either. It is a round nose. Brand RBCD, 66 grs, 2300 fps at standard pressures.
That's what I have now, and I have alot of it, and I'd tend to agree. Seeing as has the +P really doesn't have any performance benefits over the standard pressure Ranger-T, I'm looking to switch.
Also, it will shoot similarly to off-the-shelf Winchester ball (885fps vs. 835fps) so range practice will be more applicable, the +P is very different from anything you're likely to practice with.

If it where me and I were carrying a .40 I would probably carry 135 gr cor bon +p's. I keep my .45 stoked with either 165 or 185 +p's, i've also been known to carry 200 +p's.
I have to disagree with this recommendation. CorBon's 135gr load has a rep as one of the worst performing .40 rounds on the market. Couple that with the increased recoil of the +P pressure, for no good reason, and you've got a round to avoid.
