I've decided to stay away from +P ammo for my 442CT. Inexperienced as I am, I'd like to know the best standard pressure ammo I could buy for daily carry. I'd like a recommendation for ammo I could find commercially. Thanks in advance.

A good quality wadcutter will give decent ballistic performance against humans - full size hole, adequate penetration. Google "Dr. Gary Roberts" and read up on his testing and commentary.
