Wondering if anyone carries pistol magazines with alternating Hollow Point and Full Metal Jacket rounds?
Considering doing so in a .45 Officers model but can see pro and con arguments.

Spring and summer no. Winter when multiple layers of heavy clothing I have hard cast or hardball in the pipe for first shot.

You might get two or more with one shot?

I do lead wadcutter, HP, FMJ, and repeat. Never know when a dude might be in a t-shirt, heavy jacket, or you may have to shoot through car doors/windows.

Not me. All my magazines are loaded homogenously, unless I run out of XXX 9mm and have to mix 'n'match to finish up a magazine. I don't see the point.

If you want the best of both, carry HP in the gun and an extra mag with FMJ.

Or.......better penetration through a Cadillac door? You might get two or more with one shot?

Just carry a good JHP and roll on. Adjust the tactics, not the ammo loadout, for potential special situations.

you guys must have good pistols to be able to reliably feed all types of ammo mixed

In 9MM I like to run 6 Hp's on top and follow with all FMJ's. The theory being if the guy I am shooting at is still alive after 6 rounds he is probably behind cover. My 45 get 230 gr. FMJ's all up.

Alternating different rounds is basic armchair gunfighting theory for the obsessive. However, while the practice may be of dubious worth, it probably hurts nothing if the ammos all feed reliably and the points of impact are close.
