Re: Best 9mm Home Defense Ammo
I've never seen that before. Where does that picture come from? I'm not saying it's a fake or anything. Just new to me.
Does the denim stop the bullet entirely? Or does it penetrate flesh without expansion?
All I hafta do is put on a Fireman's Turnout coat, and I'm Hollow-point-proof? That'll piss off a bunch of Body-Armor Manu's.Political Correctness is the idea that you can pick up a Turd by the Clean End.

Okay.
I'm looking for an effective JHP to handload for Self-Def. and Carry...
Would you recommend Sierra Gold Dot, or Remington Golden Sabre?
I'm currently using Hornady XTP 230gr. now, but I'm always open to something better.Political Correctness is the idea that you can pick up a Turd by the Clean End.

Re: Best 9mm Home Defense Ammo
Gold Dots do well vs denim. See my list above, those are bullets that perform well. I dont know enough about the Remingtons to risk my life on them. I know some people carry them, but I question the thought they put into them, especially when that thought process excludes so many other bullets that are easier to find.
Jeff Cooper was a huge supporter of gun games, when he was winning them at least...

Re: Best 9mm Home Defense Ammo
This doesn't directly answer your question, but it does give you something to think about.
