.40 cal self defence ammo

[MikeSW99]

I'm trying to decide between the 135gr CorBon JHP and the Magtech 155gr JHP. What are others here carrying in your magazines for self defence use?

The current king of the hill SD ammo is Federal HST. This is the real deal and has better expansion, penetration, weight retention and jacket adhesion than the other premium SD ammunition.

This link shows how HST stacks up in tests funded by federal, but the testing was done by LE agencies.

HST... Accept no substitute:

I use this same ammo in my Ruger 9mm. I've been trying to find it but ammunitiontogo.com doesn't have it in 155gr at this time but they do have 180gr which I may settle for.

Same discussion in the Ammunition section.

Normally have 180 gr. Hydra Shoks loaded in my 40. I also like the 155 gr. Silvertip. All of the above mentioned are more than adaquate.

Cheers,

I use the 135 grain CorBon. To me it's similiar to a 125 grain .357 in performance but it punches a bigger hole.

180 gr. Hornady TAPs

 

[bigt5150]

First choice Federal 155gr. HydraShok
Second Choice Hornady 155 gr. TAP FPD "Black Box"

At the moment my 40ve has 135gr HSTs in it, and the 1911Sc has 230gr HSTs, I guess you could say I like the HST rounds.

I went back to 180gr fed hst's if you can't them at www.ammunitiontogo.com then try this site www.tds-us.com they are about the same price.
