9mm defense ammo
I've been carrying with Hornady Critical Defense, in both .380 and 9mm. Anything better out there? Someone mentioned that Critical Duty was a little snappy in a carry sized pistol. (G43 and LCP)

That and Federal HST's.

Re: 9mm defense ammo
Gold dots or Critical Duty will do you fine. As always put in some practice time with them.

For what it's work I carry Federal HST 124 gr. +P
There are some really good videos and reviews of various SD rounds at:

Re: 9mm defense ammo
They are VERY good rounds.
I also would recommend Winchester 127 +P+ JHP, as well as the offerings from Lehigh Defense and Underwood Ammunition. SERIOUS ammo....depends on your philosophy of use, you can realize quite large wound cavities, or have major penetration capability with good expansion. They have rounds for both.
