    Well a lot of police use Speer gold dot in anything from 9mm to .45 so I'd trust that's. I do not have any pictures though sorry

    Just about every ammo manufacturer makes a personal protection round. Here are some I have bookmarked:

    Federal:

    Remington:
    http://www.remington.com/product-families/ammunition/handgun/home-defense.aspx

    Speer:
    http://www.speer-ammo.com/ballistics/ammo.aspx

    Winchester:
    http://www.winchester.com/choose-your-ammo/Pages/personal-defense.aspx

    Hornady:
    http://www.hornady.com/store/Critical-Duty/
    http://www.hornady.com/store/critical_defense/
    http://www.hornady.com/store/Zombie-Max-Handgun/

    Cheaper Than Dirt, you can compare a bunch of different brands:

    My dad just bought some Speer Gold Dots, and I carry Z-Max and Critical-D depending on which is cheaper at the time.

    I second this comment. Also, if G-d forbid you need to take someone down in a HD/SD situation, then you have a defense on the ammo you used, I.e., it is the same as that used by many PDs.

    I prefer Winchester PDX1 in my G30. I like knowing the bumblebees coming out the barrel expand to the size of a nickel.

    Federal HST :)
    Also you should go on YouTube and type in "tnoutdoors9 HST" to see a good review video of this round, and check out the tnoutdoors9 guy for other types of ammunition as well.

    I like the ballistics of hornady FTX....before they changed it to Z-max as a marketing ploy....im gonna have to look in to the critical duty stuff

    I like Hornady Critical Defense, but any modern self defense round would be a good choice. The important thing is to make sure it functions in you gun 100% of the time.
