For the past week, what was it?

[The Night Rider]

There's something to be said for Gary's suggestion to buy enough of whatever round it is you choose, so you have enough to allow you to train and practice with it, and then carry it. Less worry about flavor or the month ammunition choices.

If nothing else I know that I have enough self-defense ammunition for at least two more years. Probably closer to three.

I don't have to worry about whether or not I'm going to be able to find it or if it's available at Sportsmans Warehouse next week

 

[wayneinFL]

Buffalo Bore 100 gr. JHP 32 H&R Mag.

 

[commygun]

.380 FTX. With shorts weather coming to an end in the PNW, it will soon be 9mm FTX.

 

[Spats McGee]

Remington Golden Saber, 9mm, 124 grain

 

[fastbolt]

Oddly enough, I also mixed in some of the 9mm 127gr +P+ and .38SPL 135gr +P into the rounds I used for my LEOSA qual in the last week. I'm becoming a bit more conservative in using them as range fodder nowadays, to try to extend my remaining supplies as much as possible.

What handgun bullet did you bet your life on the most for the past week?

357 Sig 125 gr. Gold Dot

.38 PDX Defender. Whatever grain weight that is. (135?)

 

[WisBorn]

I carried two different handguns this week/month.
Wearing shorts = 38+p 110 FTX Critical Defense.
Pants = 9mm 135 FTX Critical Duty.

I found some of the 9mm +p 135 Critical Duty that I just need to function/accuracy test in my Kimber R7 Mako.

 

[357 Terms]

145grn GT, two different bullets, same weight.
6.4grn of Universal.
2in SP101 or 640 Pro

 

[tarosean]

147gr HST

 

[C-grunt]

Winchester Ranger One 147 grain 9mm. Issued round.

 

[CapnMac]

Win 9x19 11gr Silvertips.

 

[armoredman]

9mm 124gr Golden Saber +P.

 

[Nuclear]

9mm Gold Dot 124 grain, standard pressure.

 

[MikeInOr]

9mm Golddot hand loads about half the time and 380 critical defense the other half of the time.

By loading my own self defense ammo I can actually afford to take it out and practice with it some times and verify it still feeds in my carry pistols. But most of my practicing is done with 9mm fmj handloads.

 

[sparkyfender]

Tooled around with a Glock 19X this week, and it was loaded with the dread Winchester white box JHPs.

Less than optimum ammo, but I didn't die.

357 Sig 125 gr. Gold Dot

The .355 123-grain uberlight-speed schitzenboomer.



Couldn't resist.


As always, the Speer 9mm 124-grain Gold Dot +P

 

[Armored farmer]

90 grain CorBon HP leave the roost at 1050 fps from my old LCP

 

[WisBorn]

I looked at the defense loads I currently have for my autoloaders. The 10mm is still in accuracy testing and I am getting comfortable with the guns. The 9mm loads are both good choices in my opinion. The 45acp combination allows for self defense and wilderness defense.


My 380acp loads are Federal Punch and Sig FMJs. I need to take @Armored farmer choice and look for those Cor-Bon loads.

 

[The Night Rider]

Win 9x19 11gr Silvertips.

Why are you carrying ammunition that's that old?

 

[CapnMac]

ammunition that's that old?

Not that old, per the lot numbers. But, mostly for making tight, predictable groups without hiccups. Eventually, it will get replaces by SIG Elite, like as not. But, right now, it's the best performing 9x19 I have.

 

[Gork10]

Buffalo bore 158 grain swc+p.

 

[someguy2800]

147 gr HST

 

[jr_watkins]

40 S&W 165gr Remington BJHP pushed by 7.6gr Power Pistol with WSP primers. Velocity is 1150 FPS. I loaded a thousand in March of 2012 and am down to my last 50-60. I live in Texas and replace (shoot) my magazines empty a few times a year because of the heat/humidity we have here. Carry gun is a Glock 27 that has been at my side 20+ years.
