I use Federal Premium Perosnal Defense Ammo 165gr. I only shoot a box, once or twice a year becasue they're pretty expensive. However, if i ever need to use them, I want to make sure whoever it is doesn't get up or have his side of the story to tell.

Re: Whats your self defense ammo of choice in 45 acp?
Hydrashocks are old technology, and fail to open when clogged fairly consistantly, esp in the slower 45ACP. That post is a gimmick. Sorry, but its true.
I would carry The Federal HST, but the super wide mouth doesnt agree with my 1911.
I have not shot enough Corbon DPX or Ranger SXT to know about their reliability but they are both great rounds.
Currently I am carrying TAP 230grain +p , they feed excellent.
When I can find some in stock I will switch the Federal EFMJ (expanding full metal jacket)
