Self Defense Ammunition Survey

[5pins]

I put together a small survey hoping to get an idea of what kind of ammunition people are using in their defense pistols. I tried to make it as complete as I could but I'm sure I missed some. I can modify as the survey goes on if I see something that needs to be addressed. It only takes a minute if you would like to contribute.

Done! Not sure if this matters for your research or not, but you might add a question related to +p or standard p. Just a thought. Very well put together survey, btw.

Completed. Am I just not very observant, or did Speer Gold Dots did not appear in the survey?

If you pick CCI/Speer it shows up on the next page.

Ah. Put the check next to "not very observant", then.

Thank you.

Done. Since I've reverted to carrying my M67, I'm curious to see what other .38 Special choices come up.

I answered the survey for my 9mm which is primary but for my .38 I carry Winchester Ranger (Bonded) RA38B (http://winchesterle.com/Products/handgun-ammunition/ranger/bonded/Pages/RA38B.aspx)

That stuff has a great reputation but since I have a pair of 4" M10s too, I've stayed old school with Remington's version of the LSWCHP.

[JAD]

Done. I love it when I’m a write-in.

Who the fuck is carrying 9x18 Makarov? Please tell me that's someone from a former Soviet-bloc or otherwise developing/undeveloped nation.

I'm going to add +P or Standard pressure when I get home. It won't change the data that has already put in however.

[FOG]

That's neat and informative, thanks for taking the time.

I used to. If I was still as broke as I was then, I still would be. It was a good gun.

[Chuck Whitlock]

Done!

[walker2713]

Finished.....very interesting!

I was a little surprised at how many 9mm carriers chose the standard rather than +P format. I'm in the same group, carrying HST 147gr...non +P.

Thanks for setting up the survey.

[Pit]

Done!

[JBP55]

Done.

[LSP552]

Done, 124+P Gold Dots, 9mm flavor.

[Drang]

Done. 147 HST.

[Stephanie B]

... for my .38 I carry Winchester Ranger (Bonded) RA38B (http://winchesterle.com/Products/handgun-ammunition/ranger/bonded/Pages/RA38B.aspx)

I do, as well.

[Francis]

Done. I answered twice, once for what I carry all the time, once for what I carry as much as possible. So, if you only want one response per person you can discard my 9mm HST 147 gr.

[ragnar_d]

Done. Since I've reverted to carrying my M67, I'm curious to see what other .38 Special choices come up.

For me, Winchester PDX1 (https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2900211308/winchester-pdx1-defender-ammunition-38-special-p-130-grain-bonded-jacketed-hollow-point) (which I'm guessing is a repackaged RA38B) and Remington 148gr Wadcutters. Might have to change it up on the latter since Midway is showing that the 148gr Wadcutter from Remington is discontinued. Guess I'll see if I can land some Federal wadcutters or take a chance on Buffalo Bore's 150gr load.

[Sauer Koch]

Done.

9mm / 124gr HST

[JodyH]

Pretty much any flavor of 9mm Tac-XP +P for me (Barnes, Black Hills, ASYM), whatever's on sale.

[BehindBlueI's]

For me, Winchester PDX1 (https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2900211308/winchester-pdx1-defender-ammunition-38-special-p-130-grain-bonded-jacketed-hollow-point) (which I'm guessing is a repackaged RA38B)

Same.

It hit 600 so I thought that would be a good place to stop. Thanks to everyone who participated.

[Rex G]

I saw this too late. I only read the Ammunition section now and then. Not many new developments occur for us cap-and-ball folks, anyway. ;)

[Corey]

Saw this too late as well. Maybe next time.
