Glock 43 and 9mm ammunition

Handgun Ammunition Selection

Posted on

Practice Ammunition

When you are selecting FMJ ammunition for your range time, make sure that the bullet weight matches that of your defensive ammunition.

  • 9mm
    • Example: Use 115 grain FMJ for practice and 115 grain Hornady Critical Defense for carry and defensive use
  • .40 S&W
    • You should use 165 grain FMJ with 165 grain defensive loads or 180 grain FMJ with 180 grain hollowpoints.
  • .45 ACP
    • Use 230 grain FMJ with 230 grain hollowpoints.

Defensive Ammunition

  • Don’t be a cheapskate when it comes to defensive ammunition.
    • Hornady Critical Defense works well and has a rubber core that prevents the hollowpoint from getting clogged prior to expansion
    • CORBON DPX is excellent as well
    • Federal Premium Hydrashocks are good as well
