That's my normal defensive load in my little 3" barreled, aluminum framed Kimber .45.Wes wrote:I have Federal Personal Defense, Low Recoil, Hydra-Shock Hollow Points loaded in all three of my hand guns for carry purposes.
I've even been known to load it with the evil Black Talons.
I always use some sort of reasonably high-tech JHP in any defensive handgun.
So do the cops that I know of.
Why? Because it has a much better chance of ending a fight than does FMJ ammo.
If some yankee thinks this is wrong, that's not going to affect what's in my pistols. And my pistols aren't going to affect them either. I don't know the exact range of a .40 S&W or .45 ACP, but I'm pretty sure people in NY and NJ are safe from my guns in West Texas.
