a little paranoia don't hang me out to dry please
I bought some hornady Tap rounds for my Glock .40 and while they look cool and all pretty i went to do some dry practice and while i was clearing the gun to take it into the other room i kept feeling really paranoid that there was still a round in it because of the black casing. i know that you all might think i'm over reacting but it made me a little nervous i checked my gun like 3 or 4 times before i put an empty mag in to do my dry practice. It just made me a little nervous. not a big deal just something to think about. i feel alot more comfortable if on the visual check of the chamber and mag i see brass or no brass.

Tap
I bought some 9mm Tap for my HK not to long back. I have run a few rounds thru my gun and so far o.k. but I have not tried it enough to be sure of it. I do know it is not cheap. I have recently seen some Starfire ammo at a real good price. I have carried it and shot it before with good results so may get some more.

i have read that if you ever have to defend a legal shooting in court that having ammo that is the same as your local law enforcment will be easier. the thought is if it's not to aggressive for the p.d. it's not for us either. that also goes for the amount your carrying as to avoid the "rambo" stereotyping.
. I hope this helps

To CCW Utah Instructors Comment: Thats a really good point. For pistols that have the peep hole you really could not see these bullets.

currently have remington golden saber 230 gr in my witness .45. in my 9mm I have some remington +p+ I got at the range I used to go to in utah when I lived there, was told it was left over secret service ammo when they made the change from 9mm to 40 sw. getting ready to buy a baby eagle .40. still trying to decide what to try in it for carry ammo. so many choices but don't have the money to test all of them to make sure they function well.. so trying to narrow the choices down.

My .02c
.32 auto- Winchester silver tip 60.gr hp (arguably the best for this cal.)
9mm - Winchester Ranger STX +P+ 127.gr (LE Only Isn't enforced by law)
.45 auto-any new hp works but I use Speer Gold Dot 230.gr hp
Just use whats accurate in your application
Larger .gr for long barrels Smaller .gr for short

Carry Ammo .45
The Federal HST ammo is great. I keep in loaded in my kimber ultra carry. I have one mag of that, and one mag of Winchester Ranger Bonded Ammo. The bonded ammo is made for barriers, you never know when you may need it. both 230 GR and both shoot great. Check out this site, you cant go wrong.

Was carrying Speer Gold Dots in the .357 (158gr). Currently with the Ruger P89 I'm carrying Remington 115gr JHP. That will change to Gold Dots once I can get to the range and verify functioning. I'm thinking of doing all Gold Dots and the last round Buffalo Bore +P+ as a signal the mag is empty.
