45 ACP "carry" ammo

[tercel89]

Thanks guys , I ended up going with Winchester 230gr JHP . They were $33 per 50rds. I couldn't beat that. I am going to still look more into the Speer Gold Dots , The Federal Guard Dog , and Federal HST. They all seem very good. I carry a Glock 30 , 21 and a 1911 all in 45 so I may carry a different one in each of them. The 21 and 30 aren't picky so I'm sure they'll run in them. My 1911 hasn't ever failed with any ammo but I'll run a few of each in it "just in case" . Its a plain jane Springfield fullsize but it eats ammo very well. Thanks all for the help !

Here's a real good review of the Federal offerings:  Hydra-Shok,  HST, and Guard Dog.    Bottom line, looks like HST best Federal round for carry, and Guard Dog best for inside-home defense

230 grain fmj atop 5 grains of Bullseye; just like John Browning and Uncle Sam intended.

I carry 230 grain FMJ in all of my 1911s.  100% reliable.
