You must mean Critical Defense.9mm Hornady Critical Duty 115gr
So, Ive been carrying 9mm Hornady 135gr Critical Duty in my Sub compact EDC and 147gr Winchester HP in my Compact.
Curious what other defensive loads guys swear by, what caliber also the firearm you carry it in. Anyone switch out winter and summer carry loads?
Careful Medic, if we speak too much on this they might decide .357 Sig is the solution since it offers superior hard barrier penetration. Or they will go to a .45 GAP because they can get .45 performance in a glock 22 sized pistol. Or they can adopt an armor piercing 9mm round - the belgians make a nasty one.
Sorry ZA for the thread drift.
Thread drift? ZA asked about opinions on caliber and firearms. So I think Were in line?
And even though this thread has been moved. It was first posted in Handgun discussion.
And discussing is what we're doing.
I don't believe the 357 sig can equal the penetration of a 180grain 40S&W with it's 124grain bullet.
But maybe it's velocity gives it an edge? I don't really know.
I would think the mass of the 180 grain 40 would carry it further when met with a barrier?
But I need brush up on 357 sig. It's a good round. And I could easily convert any of my Glocks with just a barrel.
As to the Glock 45 gap size pistols.
They have a much wider slide. And wont fit a 22 size holster. In affect they are a bigger blockier gun.
Now I like the AP 9mm Idea! But we have these funny laws about pistol AP ammo in this country.
And over penetration in soft tissue would be a liability. Along with little transfer of energy to stop the bad guy.
I agree with everyones responses.
Also, the extra data on FBI testing allowed the discussion of .357 Sig and 45GAP which I know nothing about, so I personally still found it interesting.
Im a 9mm and .45ACP guy, but I like reading about other prefered calibers guys are carrying and their justification for doing so.
Its all in good fun fellas!
Check out the Ranger SXT--only noticeable difference is the color. (In-house joke at Winchester was the name meant "Same eXact Thing," as opposed to the public-consumption "Superior eXpansion Technology"...).45 ACP 230gr Winchester Black Talon
Yes the ones they discontinued in 1993!
