[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1708824, member: 807"] Some thoughts on ammo and weapon choice for SDA carry... I shoot reloads almost exclusively, much cheaper for me with the quantity I shoot. I use my own loaded ammunition in my carry weapon. Mostly because I want to be comfortable that I can hit what I aim at consistently. I don't load super-hot ammo for any reason, I load for accuracy and consistency. My self defense loads are predicated on the bullet expanding as it should in the case of hollow point or soft point ammo, and if I am carrying ball ammo, I expect it to hit the same point as it does at the range. My hollow point or soft point loads are normally a little faster than the same caliber in ball ammo. Reliable functioning of a semi auto pistol defines the range of variation on my loading data. If I experience FTF or FTE and can reduce that by a tighter grip, I know I am at the lower end of the loading table for that particular weapon. Some weapons will experience FTF or FTE with factory ammo on a regular basis with a limp wristed grip. That's when a competent smith can work out the kinks and make it purr.. They call it "Deadly Force" for a reason. I hope I never have to resort to that level of response, but if needed in defense of my family or myself, I am prepared to. several years ago one of my CLEET instructors told us to make sure it was us that went home at the end of the shift...
