What is your self defense load?

[kwo51]

I try to carry what law enforcement caries here. Ranger and Winchester silver tips. This is for legal reasons only. # 4 buck in shotgun.

PDX1 in .40 out of my Beretta Cougar just about blinded me at night from the flash. The Hornady critical defense had a lot less muzzle flash - like less than half as much.

Out of my CX4 carbine, the flash was fine, but it's just not a good choice for my pistol at night. I still have some in the magazine - but they're at the bottom of the cycle. If I'm still firing by the time I get to them, I may well be having a penetration problem.

Depends. 2 nines have federal 124 gr hydrashoks in them the other has 115gr corbon hp and the 380 has gold dots and wifes 38 has i believe 125 gr hydra shoks in it.

Yeah...I don't even know the specifics off the top of my head. I think my revolvers have 140 hornady XTP. My 40s have either 165 or 180gr JHPs.

The trunk monkey has some russian JHPs. Maybe 123 gr or so. Maybe 147 gr. I don't remember.

Blink when you pull the trigger and it should preserve you night vision. My wifes 23c looks like a dragon at night.

 

[cce1302]

I always close my eyes when I shoot.

Not just bullets, but thousands of surface to air missiles.
