I carry Ranger T 147. Performs well in every test I can find. Says “Ranger” right on the box.
Federal HST or Gold Dot. You can get either in the 50 round LE boxes on the open market. They are also available in there 20-25 round retail boxes, usually at a higher cost per round. Hornady Critical Duty 135+P seems to be coming on strong as well.
Federal HST or Speer G2.
I'd say 124gr Nato would do the trick. Penetrates deeper than a mueller investigation.
Honestly the older I get the more I dont believe in hollow point ammunition.
I think that the choices listed are all good. I have tried the Hornady Critical Duty 135-grain +P round recently, and it grouped very accurately in my Glocks and Beretta's. It was recently adopted by the Effa Bee Eye as their new duty load. The Bureau has also started reaching out to some very respected outside folks to do a bunch of teaching at Quantico, for what that is worth.
Honestly, I stock up on the Ranger T 147 grain, Speer Gold Dot 147 grain, or pretty much anything on Dr Gary Roberts' approved list. I just look for a decent sale, and buy a case or two at a time.
I am a little partial to the Gold Dots, since I can stock up on the American Eagle 147's which shoot the same POA/POI in almost all my pistols.
And Chris and the rest of the folks at Lucky Gunner are good people, and should be trusted by all.
Hope that helps.
I carry 124 grain NATO Q4318 FMJ. Penetrates as good as anything.
