In 45, what load do you like btw for defense? Thanks.
For CCW carrying, it's either 230 gr. Federal HydraShoks or 200 gr +P Speer Gold Dots.
For handloading, I use:
230 Bullets........5.0 gr of SOLO 1000 or 7.5 gr of Power Pistol for around 850 FPS
200 Gr bullets......5.3 gr of SOLO 10000 or 8.0 gr of Power Pistol for around 950 FPS (SOLO 1000 is very low flash)
For legal reasons, I prefer to use factory ammo in my carry guns.
