Re: New to handguns, which ammo should I use?

There is a great article in the September issue of "American Rifleman" that examines Winchester's and Hornady's solution to defensive handgun ammunition. Hornady (Critical Defense FTX) takes the stand that you don't want a round that is designed to penetrate barriers but will still provide massive stopping power. Winchester (Supreme Elite Bonded PDX1) takes the opposite view, most bad guy's are going to try and hide behind something and you need a defensive ammo that will penetrate and still knock the BG down.

Right now I am using the PDX1 for both my Kel-Tec PF9 9mm and my H&K USP .40, there are pros and cons of both the Winchester and Hornady, but I like the stopping power and they feed reliably in both pistols.
