    Carry what shoots reliably and accurately through your gun.

    I carry Remington Golden Sabers.

    both my pistols have hornady critical defense ammo in them. never had any problems with feeding or firing issues in either.

    i used to carry ust normal hollow points but after reading articles on expansions i decided to switch to the hornaday.

    If your Google-fu on this site is better than mine, you can find this discussed in at least three threads in the past six months. If you are in Easton, and the possibility even remotely exists that you might stray into the PRNJ, best advice is to NOT have hollow-points in your gun, magazine, on your person, in your car, and don't even think about hollowpoints. Better maybe, even be sure you don't have an old receipt in the litterbag in your car for having purchased any hollowpoints in Montana in the last century. On that side of the river they get really freaky about them, so these threads attest.

    I'd put more than that through if you can afford it. I have a gun that jams about 1/10 rounds on a certain brand of HPs, which is obviously unacceptable. But I once managed to get two 30-round mags through it with no jams.

    Federal Hydra Skok in my 9mm, 40, 45ACP Why IMO there's no better. Though Remington does have a matching round that I'm sure is just as good. I've like the federal enough to have purchased 6 cases of each caliber for stock. I purchased it years before the Obama express & looots more at cheap prices compared to today. I got 223 & 5.56 12 cents a rd. All Federal All New.How you would like 1000 rds. for $120 bucks TODAY? O I STILL HAVE ABOUT 76,000 RDS LEFT of
    9mm...40...45ACP...44 mag...223...5.56...308...7mm Mag & last 12ga..oops forgot 38 & 357 About 90% Federal then about 10% Remington

    I can not decide so I carry two kinds for my 9mm. Speer Gold Dot 124 gr seem slightly more accurate In my mine than the Hornady Critical Defense 115 gr. After seeing the expansion test of I started to carry one mag of Hornady.

    Mag in use Speer Gold Dot

    One mag Hornady and one mag Speer in mag carrier on weakside.
