Hey all so currently I carry critical defense 115gr in both my GLOCK 19 4” and 26 3.5”. I see there is also the heavier 135gr critical duty load which comes in standard or +p. There’s also a 124gr +p to add to the confusion

I was thinking about carrying the standard velocity 135gr in my 4” and the +p in my shorter 3.5” for similar penetration though I’m not sure it would lose enough velocity to require the +p. I’m aiming for more penetration than expansion, pretty bullets look cool but hitting vitals is better.

So if you had it your way, with these two firearms, what would you carry and in which one

GLOCK 19 4”
GLOCK 26 3.5”

Hornady Critical Defense 115gr
Hornady Critical Duty 124gr +p
Hornady Critical Duty 135gr
Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +p

I’m not sure if maybe carrying the lighter load in summer and heavier in winter makes sense (more clothing on attackers in winter). Just confused
