Ammo Important?
I guess I have never cared to much about my carry ammo. I tend to buy whatever is on sale. I mostly carry HPs becuase I know it is better to get some expansion out of them. The last three rounds of a mag I will often put in FMJ. I like the idea that if I go through 7 rounds and can't hit what I am shooting at then maybe i can use the FMJ rounds to shoot through whatever might be blocking my shot. I thought about buying some tracer ammo and using that at the end of my mags so I know when i am getting close to being out of ammo maybe that is just a gimic I don't know if that would help.
I do test a mag or two of whatever ammo is sitting in my CCW piece to make sure it feeds properly.
