I practice with the standard FMJ but have a mix of Underwood 200g Hardcast Flat Nose and 200gr XTP Hollowpoints in the personal defense magazines...just in case a giant bear attacks while walking over to Bimart
Buy the most expensive stuff so you come to the realization that you can make shoulder breakers cheaper than bulk .22 sooner.
They're all "high-pressure".. or at least have the capacity to blow your hand off if you don't follow simple procedures.
I hear you. First lesson though is never fire someone else's reloads.. hopefully your friends know this also.Thats what I mean I would like factory ammo for now till I can trust my reloads that I make. Maybe let a friend fire some off from his gun
Stay out of the cor-bon stuff, and watch your pressures with the buffalo stuff, they can be pretty hot. The XTP is a good choice, fed american eagle is pretty decent for practice too. Underwood should work good for you as well. I would start reloading as soon as possible, good 10 mm stuff is still super expensive, and you can roll your own for almost the same cost as 9 mm ammo. For a great all around defense load, order up some Remington Golden Saber 180 gr and see how you like it, it's made for short barrel work.
This ^^^A 180gr XTP with a stiff charge of Longshot will stop anything that walks or rolls around here.

Or even better with an HST on top if you can find them.
In self defense ammo, it's the new Sheriff in town, but I don't think it's available yet in 10mm.what may i ask is an HST?

Here are some ballistic tests with most of the current loadings represented.
They didn't test 10mm, but you can get a rough idea from the 40 S&W testing.

Not a Glock owner, but I would try it with the stock springs.Plus if i can avoid 200 gr till im comfortable running that through my G29 while still utilizing 10mm power im down.
Can I use my stock recoil spring for 180 gr or should i still upgrade to a 21#
