Gold Dot 155, 165, or 180 gr
Hey everyone, I'm really undecided Which grain bullet I should go with. This is for a G23 Gen 4. Thanks in advance for all your help/Input.

Normally I say bigger is better but in .40SW, I'm worried about pressures, so I use 165's for PD ammo.
I use 147 in 9mm and plan to use 230 in 45 ACP
Maybe I'm too cautious but had a round blow out in my pistol made me cautious.

Thanks Buss, I was kind I leaning towards the 165 gr myself. I just wasn't sure.buzznrose said:Normally I say bigger is better but in .40SW, I'm worried about pressures, so I use 165's for PD ammo.

Good article here: Best Choices for Self Defense Ammo.
I usually am too, but when it comes to .40s, I shoot 165gr, period. In .45GAP, I shoot 200gr, but primarily because that's the most common bullet size in the caliber; don't see too many 230gr .45GAP rounds, probably because of the shorter case.I'm from the school "the bigger the better"...180 grain !

^This. I haven't had a blowout, but it's far more likely to happen with a 180gr bullet, because there's so much less room in the case. A little overcharge in powder and boom.
Someone posted somewhere that the FBI is using the 165gr for their .40's.
My Dept issues Speer Gold Dot 165gr...good round.
