What Brand of Defensive Ammunition Do You Use in Your EDC?

[OCCI]

Voters may not change their votes.

 

[tattedupboy]

Remington Golden Saber (because of the limitations of the USA Carry app for Android, I wasn't able to vote in the poll).

 

[Horkos]

I go with mostly Hornady Critical Defense. Sometimes I switch it up and go with Winchester Ranger.

 

[aedinius]

Winchester PDX1. 180gr.

 

[Adox]

Corbon

 

[coachdb18]

Varies, but have settled upon Prvi Partisan as my preference. Inexpensive, and high power (the data indicate it has 720 ft/lbs energy in a .357 Magnum SJHP load at 158 gr). Switch to FMJ for my camping and kayaking outings, since there is always the possibility of encountering bears, and penetration into a very tough animal is more crucial I'm told.

Depends on what gun I'm carrying that day. I voted Federal because more of my guns like Federal loads than any of the others mentioned.

I choose my carry load based on what shoots best (100% reliable plus the best accuracy) and every gun I have likes something different (even the ones that are identical).

 

[Lakeland Man]

I voted "other" because I get what I can afford at any given time. I'm not partial to any one specific ammo.

 

[OM44]

I carry my own reloads. They are not what you
think, however. I carry real light loads because
the .44 special Charter Arms revolver I carry
isn't a very strong weapon. I believe in carrying
what you practice with and I practice a lot.
If I fired the factory ammo, the little gun would
fall apart again.

Recent switch

After hearing that the FBI has recently switched all of their ammunition needs to Winchester PDX1(personal defence ammo)regardless of caliber, I did a little research on my own and found out this ammo has outstanding penetration along with excellent expansion in all calibers in which it is made.My choice is the 130gr JHP +P for my varied Airweight S&W's. I bought mine at Cabelas and they only had four boxes, two of which I bought. The salesman told me all of the available calibers were on backorder.

Interesting.
I will keep that information in mind for my next hike. I have been living in the Poconos for over 5 years, and I am still the only one in my family of 5 that has not seen a bear here.

However, I have seen the bobcat, that isn't supposed to exist, twice! :biggrin:

 

[sdprof]

Black Hills Ammo .40S&W 180 gr JHP (XTP bullet, for those interested)

One big reason is to support a local industry.

 

[Seafoxfla]

Remington Golden Saber (because of the limitations of the USA Carry app for Android, I wasn't able to vote in the poll).

+1 for Golden Saber in 9mm and .45

 

[Stiofan]

Golden Saber for my LCP .380 and my .41Mag Blackhawk is always Buffalo Bore hardcast when I'm in the woods.

 

[festus]

Winchester SXT for .40 S&W
Winchester PDX1 for .45ACP

 

[jelo45110]

It is tough for me to pick just one. I have multiple firearms I carry depending on the situation, and I don't always use the same brand of ammo for each.

 

[Bighouse Doc]

I used to use a mixture of Hydra-Shock, SXT, and others.

Over the last two years I have standardized to Gold-Dot with some HST+P thrown in!

I can make Gold-Dot handloads so I fill my emergency stock with those.

Different guns, different ammo.

 

[JohnD13]

Buffalo Bore.

 

[titaniumman]

Federal Hydra-shok+P+ 124gr. I get it fairly cheap $22.95 box of 50. You can really feel the kick compaired to practice ball ammo. and it was recommended by LE friend of mind who uses it in his duty weapon...A GLOCK like mine. It is very accurate when I do my part..
