Conceal carry ammo ?

What kind of ammo do you use for conceal carry ?
FMJ, Home defense or what ??

All my pistols are .45ACP, and when I'm out I've got 230 gr. hydrashoks. That's also what's in my nightstand.

230gr ball for my 1911 and 180gr( I reload) for my snubbie 38 spcl 147 gr for my Hi power 250 gr FN for my SA. I believe in weight!

I generally use the same concept for all my self defense pistols. Half jacket controlled expansion (hollow point) in the heaviest weight available. While this combo means a slower moving projectile the size when expanded and the weight provide the necessary mass to convey the most energy. This creates the shock or trauma hopefully in a center mass which will end the threat. Most self defense shootings are within a 21 foot range so speed isn't as critical as in hunting where the shot travels a much larger distance. I'm anxious to here some other ideas as I'm sure each of us prefer different loads for different reasons.

Mixmaster, 230 gr. ball? Interesting choice. Why not hollow points? Just curious.

Hydrashocks!

Hydrashocks across the board. 38, 357, 9mm, 40, 45

I use Winchester Ranger 147 grain loads in my Carry Glock 34 or my Browning hi power.

Anybody know anything about Hornady critical defense ammo ?

I dont get to carried away with high dollar self defense ammo in 45acp. Lately been carrying Winchester self defense hollowpoints
