I carried the Hornady Critical Defense in .40 S&W in my M&P40c since I liked the performance tests and it functioned fine. Then I tried testing for accuracy at the out limits of self-defense distance and it was some of the most inaccurate ammo I had ever shot. 9" groups at 25 yards.I wanted to like Hornady Critical Defense, I really did. But they fed like crap in my pistol, often taking a nose dive into the feeding ramp and jamming.
So I keep HST's loaded for defense. (I'll try the Hornady in my wife's Glock43 to see if it likes them, though)
For practice, whatever I can find that's cheap: Winchester white box, American eagle, pmc bronze. I try to avoid blazer brass because it's dirty as hell to shoot but, if the deal is right...I'm not real picky on FMJ's...and neither is my gun, so it's a win win.
