I forgot to mention the barnes tac-XPD. I carry these while pig hunting in my sidearm.
As I understand the legal reasoning? If you purchase something from the factory that are hollow point, it was designed that way and the idea is that you are using a round that's been designed for self-defense. If you change something from the factory design to make it more lethal- in spite of the legal argument "But its less effective than factory hollow points!" the point still remains you premeditatedly made them more lethal- hence the 1st degree murder charge.
Like I said before- what you think the law is and how its implemented is two completely different things.
For those of you who wanted to inspect my butt for various flying objects? You keep your opinion- really. I'm totally wrong! Yes! its true! I'm 100% wrong! You go with your opinion- and when you're in jail make sure you post here so we can laugh at you ok?
I'll accept the sounds of crickets chirping, wind and tumbleweeds as an apology for how you shot your mouth off yesterday
I don't think he said he's killed pigs with those.AM? Please pardon my ignorance but aren't wild pigs rather large and dangerous and like any other wild animal they're very attuned to their environment? So what do you gain by hunting with a pistol? Is it the speed you can whip the firearm around? Is it because it's lighter to carry? I'm not a hunter thats why I'm asking

What does the Geneva convention have to do with anything???What I'm going to suggest will send you to jail if you're caught ok? I mean "throw you up against the wall with your family, and shoot everyone dead" kind of illegal.
Get the cheapest ball ammo you can. Take a pocketknife and put an "X" on the tip- this is called a dum dum bullet. Its illegal as hell per the Geneva Convention and the military has a very dim view of them.
I suggest this for two reasons: 1)FMJ round nose will usually feed reliably no mater what 2)That "X" will not catch on the pistols feed ramp like the hollow points do.
Just remember this is last ditch ammo- if the poo's that deep it won't mater about the finer points of the law right?
What is the best 9mm round/bullet to have on hand for SHTF? Pistols are large frame - a Taurus PT99 (Beretta clone), Tanfoglio TZ-75 (CZ-75 clone) and M&P 9mm. I'm not sure is any/all of these can handle +p ammo.
Thanks for the input. Reloading is part of my SHTF plan - I plan on reloading my ball ammo as I shoot it, some will be ball, others will be defensive.
This is a very difficult perplexing problem is as follows: keep the stuff on hand for reloading (takes up volume and time) or just keep already loaded rounds on hand (takes up volume). I've seen both sides of this question and Murphys law kicked my butt. I tooled up hard for reloading then it dawned upon me if I'd spent the same amount of money of premanufactured rounds I'd have saved the time. *Shrugs* Your mileage may vary but I'd lean towards the heaviest bullet, premanufactured cartridges rather than "roll your own".
