9mm reccomendations?
I just got a Kel Tec P11 last week and I bought a box of Winchester FMJ to shoot through it and break it in. When I start CCWing I'd like to have a good self-defense round and I doubt the FMJ would be as effective as a good hollow point.
This being my first pistol, I wasn't sure what I should be looking for. I visited the Kel Tec forum and it can do +P ammo for occasional use but there were also some users who said that normal loads would work OK too.
Does anyone reccomend a decent 9mm self-defense round?

Re: 9mm reccomendations?
Corbons are pretty effective JHP,they are the only rounds i would carry in my CC gun , i have the 125 gr +p corbons in my SR9 right now, the 115gr are also very effective manstoppers.

That really goes for any gun. Shooting +p accelerates the wear and tear caused by standard pressure bullets. Conversely, shooting a lot of light loads decelerates your standard wear and tear. That's why a lot of reloaders (myself included on most handgun loads) use the minimum load that still has enough power to properly cycle the action.

When I had my PF9 I put about a box and a half of Hornady Critical Defense through mine and it fired just fine. I like Hornady I think its good stuff.

Re: 9mm reccomendations?
everyone has their personal preference when it comes to self defense ammo...
I use Winchester Ranger, and am waiting for Federal HST's. I currently have 124 +p Winchesters and am looking to get 147gr +p HST's.
