I need to rotate my 9mm carry ammo out, it's been a long while since last time I rotated and each round probably went thru few eject-rechamber rotations. I've been using Corbon DPX for many years, but from what I'm hearing they are having issues and problems now so need to figure out what brand to buy.

What do you guys carry normally, the maker the line the grains? Thanks a lot.

Corbon has some interesting offerings. The Corbon 44 Special looks interesting.


For heavier stuff I prefer Hornady Critical Defense. 38 special and up. I won't carry a 9mm for CCW but would probably settle on something close to the standard 9mm NATO.


For small stuff (9mm Makarov, 380 acp and 32 ACP) I prefer full metal jacket. Prvi Partisan makes a hot Makarov round. Either Remington or Winchester FMJ is fine for the other two.


I'm reading some confusing things about 32 ACP, European vs US bore diameters. If I had any offshore made 32 ACP I'd probably use European made rounds.
