What .40 ammo are you actually carrying?

[maddog909]

At this time I'm using Winchester Supreme Elite PDX1's at 165 gr.

 

[M29since14]

Winchester 155 gr. silvertip HP

I really like these in my 4040PD and the gun shoots them very well. It's an old load and sometimes people make fun of them, but I wouldn't want to get in the way of one of them either.

Glock 22 + Speer 180gr Gold Dot. Works good for me. Shot over 1500 rounds of the Gold Dot and 1000 Rounds of Lawman 180 TMJ in this weapon with no problems. Most of them with a TLR-1 light attached.

I had a different Glock 22 + Winchester Ranger 155. Weapon was unreliable with the TLR-1 light attched. Without the light, no malfunctions at all @ 1000 rounds. With the light, 10% malfunction rate, go figgure?

When I carry my S&WM&P40 I load it with Federal 165grain HST.

 

[cjw3]

Winchester 165 grain SXT. Carried it before I retired and had occasion to dump a few hogs and whatnot with it. I have chronographed it at 1080+ from my Glock 27, so you could say I have confidence in it.

It works...enough said.

 

[uncle norman]

Only Speer 180 gr Gold Dots for me!

 

[boingboing]

Speer 165gr Gold Dots on duty in my 4046TSW cause that's what I'm issued and I know they work.

 

[billj47]

Gold Dots

In .40, 38 Special, and 9mm. Maybe I'm in a rut!

 

[7strider77]

165 Golden Sabers in both M&P's.

 

[Bassman]

180 gr. Federal Hydoro shocks

 

[Ogandydancer]

New nomenclature that I am unfamiliar with. FMJFP. I know FMJ is full metal jacket but the FP is what is throwing me. Anyone have any Idea?

 

[zercool]

I'm presuming FMJFP is full jacket Flat Point. But I could be wrong

I carry Win white box JHPs when I have the .40.

 

[dave-arlington-va]

Ranget T 180 gr HP

 

[szuppo]

Any of the modern hollow points, not brand specific, whichever is cheapest. Rely more on shot placement than some wonder bullet.

 

[baccusboy]

If you want penetration in a Hollow Point, the Hornady XTP rounds don't mushroom out so huge as the HST's or Gold Dots, and will penetrate further. Depending on the caliber, they are also loaded a bit lighter and have a bit less recoil. As TNoutdoors9 will tell you on Youtube, slower bullets often penetrate more.

Holy Zombie thread!

OP hasn't been active on the forum for more than two years...

 

[Smoke]

The company I work for issues Speer Golddot we are not allowed to carry anything but the issue ammunition.

Personally I carry WWB JHPs

 

[Protected One]

"I don't always carry .40cal, but when I do... it's 175gr. Hornady Critical Duty".

Stay thirsty my friends.

 

[shamelessinct]

155 grain Federal Hydra Shoks in the Glock 27 that I carried as back up and off duty until I retired and still use as my EDC. That's what I was issued and it shoots to POA.

 

[wreckville]

Winchester SXT
