So I'm considering getting a new handgun for home defense (over my inherated .357 mag revolver).
The variety of weights and pressures availible seemed to give a lot of flexibility to modern calibers.
However while poking around stats I noticed some companies only seemed to be selling expensive hollow points in those loadings.
Now, I don't mind spending a lot for the bullets I might be defending my life with.
However after some trial rounds to ensure there aren't problems with feeding them, I'd want to practice on cheaper rounds matched for recoil and ballistics.
I figured that would be trivial, especially for cartridges where there's space in the case for more powder as opposed to ones needing specialty powders to get higher pressures.
But as far as I can tell +P bulk training rounds just plain don't exist. I'm hoping one of you knows something I don't.
Or are you just spending a Lincoln every clip of double stack +P 45ACP you shoot, limiting yourself to standard weights and pressures, or shooting one thing but carrying another?
