For the past week, what was it?

[CDW4ME]

For the past week, what handgun bullet did you carry the most?
If you carried different handguns during the past week, the bullets in the handgun you carried the most.
If you carried two guns at once, the bullets in the primary handgun.

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

357 Sig 125 gr. Gold Dot

 

[StrawHat]

45 caliber, 240 grain, cast, wadcutter bullet over a hardball dose of Bullseye, all wrapped up in a bright and shinny 45 ACP case.

[bangswitch]

My carry ammo is always a JHP. In my .40S&W EMP4 it is a Hornady XTP 155 grain, in my S&W M66-1 it is a Hornady XTP 158 grain, and yes, those are magnum loads.

I carry a .380 loaded with Winchester SXZ 95 gr. This round works well in the short barrel of a Pico.

 

[Hartkopf]

9mm GoldDot 124gr +p

 

[jar]

Some 9mm FMJ. No idea what brand.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Same, 115gr 9mm FMJ, lol.
Bought some Fiochi 124gr. JHPs but haven't tested them in that gun, so don't want to carry them yet.

.380 hard cast lead. 9mm good old fashion basic hollow points.

 

[NorthBorder]

I don't remember how long I've been carrying that. I change them out once a year.

Just like last week, and the week before that, and so on and so forth - 147gr JHPs in Winchester "Defend" 9mm factory loads.

MagTech 71grn .32 Automatic FMJ

 

[chicharrones]

My standard ammo selection for working out of town every week of 2023 has been S&B .380 92 grn FMJ in my pocket pistol and S&B 9mm 115 grn JHP in my travel pistol. Last week was no different.

The pocket pistol is primary carry due to work conditions. The travel pistol is primarily for car and hotel.

Service Caliber Handgun Duty and Self-Defense Ammo

6/1/16 When comparing well designed duty handgun ammunition, there are minimal differences in penetration depths and temporary cavity effects, as noted below in the gel shots by Doug Carr: http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/DocGKR/Handgun_gel_comparison.jpg As...

pistol-forum.com

I've talked about the Pistol Forum list before.

When I first heard about it I decided on 9mm SGD. So I went and bought two cases.

This last time we bought, SGD wasn't available so we went to Winchester PDX but when we switched we bought a case of Winchester. we actually won't be switching to Winchester until 2025.

The point I'm trying to make is when I find a SD ammunition that I like I buy as much as I can afford.

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.
