    Cool .45 ACP EDC ammo choice.

    I’ve been carrying my H&K USP Tactical a lot lately. It’s in my top ten favorite guns of all time. I have 200 gr +p Double Tap bonded JHP in the mags. They’re rated at 1100 fps and 537 ft lbs. What are some of your preferred carry rounds in .45 ACP?
    My three favorite things in life are guns, girls and cars. Everything else is secondary.

    this. I use Underwood Ammo JHP +P in all my EDC guns from 9MM on up to .45 ACP. My favorite currently is a Glock G20 in 10MM

    Otoh, .45 lets out a lot of blood and lets in a lot of air. A good quality fighting pistol is not all that big and heavy, especially for a manly-man that builds enduring structures from stone, concrete, Etc. Just sayin.
