That was a great article, and the most comprehensive set of test results I've ever seen. I was glad to see that both my carry ammo choices (115 gr. Speer Gold Dots in 9mm and 230 Federal HST in .45) performed well.

Wow. Those Federal HST look really good.

From my own unscientific tests in the past, the speer gold dots and fed HST have always performed well.

I carry 9mm Federal Hydra Shocks, 135 grain. Having recently purchased a commander sized 1911, I look forward to finding a load I like in it.

On duty I carry 230-grain Ranger +P for the Sig P220.

Either Critical Duty or Critical Defense for my 9mm's depending on barrel lengths. For a while I was even carrying 115 grain Federal +P+ in my G26. Light bullet, but comes out screaming.

That is a very nice resource, thanks for sharing.

I typically try to carry Speer Gold Dots because that is what our local law enforcement carries. Our on campus cops carry Hornady Critical Duty so I may pick some of that up in the future.

When it all comes down to the brass tacks I'd bet any premium aggressively expanding hollow point will work. I don't picture a bad by taking 2-7 rounds center mass and then belittle you

"awww what's these? Corbon powerball's ? If only you as shooting ___________ then I'd just drop"

Stick with what the city guys are carrying and not what the campus cops are carrying
