Your EDC of choice and ammo?

Just trying to see what everyone carries for a firearm, and what they load it with? Also if you carry extra magazines and what condition your firearm is in when carrying? I will start

G30 SF loaded with Speer Gold Dot 230g
Carry 1 extra G21 magazine
Carry "1 in the chamber 100% of time.

Glock 19 - Federal HS 124 grain +p JHP
Glock 30sf - Federal HS 230 grain JHP
S&w Model 36 - Federal HS 129 grain +p JHP

All depends on the weather and what I fell like carrying for the day, lol

N82Tactical holsters for all and spare clip per semi auto and speed strip for the wheel gun.

I carry whatever the law enforcement agency in that area carries. This way god forbid I ever have to use my gun, no lawyer in a court room can ever claim I was using some kind of specialty, military, or any other type of ammo they can twist into being designed to do more damage then the situation warrants.

I'm all for the many arguments against this, but you have to think about what looks bad to a jury. If they say why did you carry this specific type of ammo I can say that is what the area law enforcement carries, and I feel they would know what is best for the community and public as a whole.
That's good thinking right there.

Anybody ever use 2-part fragmenting bullets? I've been curious since I first heard of them.
Did you ever find any information on the fragmenting bullets?

G30 .45
Win PDX1 Bonded & Pow'R Ball 'every other' stack in the same mag.

I like the balance of big heavy slow JHP with a cavity like a big mouth bass along with a light, high speed hollow point with that Pow'R ball to pierce solid objects (sheet metal and glass) 'like' an FMJ and avoids the risk of heavy fabric stuffing the hollow point and preventing expansion.

In a 'every other' stack (with 2nd backup mag) and double-tap center-mass firing, I suppose I get the best of both worlds for any situation.
Do you have any concerns with feeding? Have you tested your set-up?
I loaded JHP and FMJ in my last magazine(only have three). I decided that after 23 shots I might want a FMJ in the next 10 shots.


I carry the same in my g30 :) expect its the 230g
Didn't know Hornady made a 230 grain CD...and it's not listed on their website.

Could you please provide me the SKU off the box...thanks !
Yes please! I would like to use the Critical Defense, but prefer a 230 grain bullet.

That and I'm personally interested in EFMJ, again if Federal improves theirs or someone else makes something better, from a barrier penetration standpoint.
Is the Federal Guard Dog ammo worth the money? Has anyone tried it?

I see Federal, Hornaday, Corbon, and Winchester a lot but what do you guys think of the Remington UMC 230gr JHP .45acp? Would it be worthy enough for you LEO's to trust your life to?

Thanks in advance!
I almost bought some UMC 230 gr JHP. Would like to hear what the "knowledgeable" say about it.



I read though all 14 pages of this thread and never saw PMC Starfire mentioned. It is what I have in my G330SF(230 grain), but now I'm concerned I purchased the wrong bullet. :eek:
