    Question What Grain .40 Caliber You Carry?

    Just wanted to get a ballpark figure of what fellow members carry in their .40 caliber pistols for personal defense.

    Usually, the big debate is over 165 vs. 180 grain.
    I prefer the 165gr JHP's because of greater velocity. But I recently was speaking with someone who said that the 180 packs more "punch".

    Would like to hear your thoughts on that as well.

    Also, whats the real difference between Sub-Sonic and Super Sonic ammo besides speed?

    I have often read here on the forums many members really dislike carrying sub sonic ammo?
