Your CCW and Ammo Preference w/regards to Self Defense

[hunter won]

jtg452...NO, I'm not a Moderator... I didn't know one had to be a Moderator to have Sense. BUT, I'm all up for CHANGING the Topic of a Discussion... Hunter Won, in My Notes, I've Shot 26 Wild Pigs with Handguns in ..22LR 9mm, .45acp, .38 Spl, .357 Mag and .44 Mag... Add Much more for feral Cats, Raccoon... Deer, feral Goat, a Cow with broken leg (lol) etc... BUT, this WAS...WAS a conversation on what is your Concealed Carry Weapon and Ammo.... I'm not attacking anyone, Just wanted to keep it on Topic, Because its a good topic and dosnt need to get Muddied with fringe elements.
We can all argue all day long what Calibers We PREFER... But the Discussion was on What We Actually Carry... I prefer a .9mm or .45 acp to Carry, but on the Day I had to Shoot someone with a Handgun ...(I didn't have my Rifle) I had a Beretta 84 .32 acp.. You Know What? It worked Just fine.
I think I saw a Forum Topic somewhere on Handgun hunting.....
God Bless and Stay Safe... Captain

HI-POINT .45 auto loaded with 200 grain XTP hollow points.

Really? I've been considering buying a Hi-Point .45 as a "toy", mostly so that I would have a reason to start buying .45 ammo when I see it (I currently do not own anything in .45). Most of what I have read about them makes me think they wouldn't even serve the toy purpose very well. But I have never actually spoken to anyone who owns one. Have you ever had any issues with yours?

 

[guncat]

I have never had a problem with mine and have over 20,00 rounds of mixed ammo through it. check out these guys experiences

[Glockster20]

Main CC pistol is a Glock 27 in .40 S&W. Cor-Bon 135gr. JHP.... My philosophy is that of a previous poster... shorter barrel = a lighter bullet.

 

[cb5300]

A S&W 945 in 45ACP...loaded with 230gr Hydro-Shoks..:triniti:

 

[utimmer43]

a glock 32 with 230 grain hollow point

Umm... are you sure about that? I've never heard of a .357SIG round at 230 grains. If they exist, then I stand corrected. And I would like to know who make them and where I can get them.:biggrin:

 

[Jeffrey1235]

The recall on the Ruger SR9 was the older model. The newest model is in good shape and not being recalled for any reason. They made some nice improvements my SR9 is quickly becoming my favorite gun.

A 230 grain .357 sig bullet would be awfully huge. Not sure if it's something I'd like to be shooting. :sarcastic:

Yeah, it would seem counter-intuitive as it would serve to slow the bullet down an awful lot. Non-the-less, if they did exist, I would at least like to see the stats on them. But upon checking his profile, it seems that he meant G36, not G32.

Springfield XD(m) 40, cross breed super tuck holster, and speer Gold Dot 180 gr JHP, however sometimes I carry JHP that I have loaded. The Speer has pretty good consistency, but I love my hand loads.
