What type of ammo is everyone using in their everyday carry gun of choice? I ran some cheap hallowpoints in my hipoint but they always fired so I wasn't super worried. and I knew i probably wouldn't have to shoot through concrete bricks and stuff lol.

I run Hornady 135gr Critical Duty 9mm. Will likely switch to Federal HST when I swap it out.
Here is one if the best ballistics studies I've ever seen. Featured it on my company Facebook page a while back. Luckygunner.com did an outstanding job.

[QUOTE="MattyD.]Honestly, with all of the advances in modern self defense ammo, the big 3 favorite calibers are so close to each other now that it shouldn't matter. Shoot what you like and have peace of mind about it.

I belive you hit the nail on the head, one of the key items when practicing defensive shooting in my mind is to occasionally fire your carry ammunition and feel comfortable with it, make sure things are cycling like they should and if not hey its only training now is the time to correct it. It would be a bad deal if all one practiced with was FMJ range ammo that worked great at the range regardless of caliber but with no self confidence in your carry ammo it's kinda like leaving it up to faith imho

If you haven't seen them, watch Colin Noir's "People who carry....." Set of videos. Pokes fun at the personalities of a 9mm, .40, and .45ACP carrier. Worth watching!
