.45 ACP EDC ammo choice.

[Captain Waffles]

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?

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

.45's are heavy, I don't like heavy on my hip.

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.
