Hey guys, question;
Do you feel there is a big difference in rounds as far as defense is concerned?
I use Remington jacketed hollowpoints both for range and carry lately as I believe they are the same the police use, not that that should be a deciding factor. I guess it's just easier to keep a box of 50 for both.
The new Critical Defense were suggested as they apparantly are not affected by heavy clothing, like leather, which I have heard affects a normal hp round. Elderboy also has me looking at the Gold Dots and made a valid point about the Critical Defense rounds being relatively new and unproven thus far.
Living in Florida, and the cold weather almost gone, I'm not sure if this is a valid concern.
I've said it before, my personal defense has no price tag.

There is a difference between FMJ and JHP. FMJ's can over penetrate. Head on over to ar15.com and click on the handguns tab. There is a forum for ammunition and the have reviews. Basically, Winchester Ranger, Federal HST, Corbon, and Speer Gold Dots are great.

I wish I had some of my 1866, and my true Winchester 1897, but oh well. The rest of my collection went down in a tragic boating accident.

Nice pictures Junior! Sadly, like many others on here, I lost most of my guns in a tragic boating accident as well

You like to try and eat brains, and just generally invade our personal space.

Absolutely.
My personal preference is Speer Gold Dots. For the longest time Federal Hydra-Shocks were "it" to carry. What a lot of people didn't know was the FH-S had a very small velocity range envelope in which the round performed as designed. The Gold Dot's performance envelope is much greater.

I don't have a lot of recommendations on bandoliers. I bought a cheap one from some gun show vendor. I don't think the quality is that great b/c some of the loops are starting to fray.
