Thanks for that. Would love to see some credible third-party testing at some point. But helpful nonetheless

Hello all. I can’t find any current(2020) testing or info, showing these are good to go now. IIRC these had issues like the G2 9mm 147gr out of the gate. The 9mm load seems to have been tweaked and...

I guess so, huh. That's a big spread. It just sucks the crap shoot you get with some of Winchesters ammo.

Other than the horrible ES, how is the ranger bonded load working out? Doesn't seem like...

One thing I found a bit head scratching with Lucky Gunners results regarding the standard pressure .45 Win rangers was how fast they got out out of a 3.5" barrel. I can understand the notion of...

Very good. Sounds like solid advice. Thanks.

Thanks for that podcast link. Very interesting first hand account of an OIS. I will definitely be forwarding this link to everyone at work to listen to it.

I am going to request a box of the +...

I am a patrol officer on the firearms training staff but I had a major hand in the ammunition selection. Based of course on DocGKR's suggestions. We just got away from the .40 last year after 15+...

Your results regarding the standard pressure Win ranger 230gr ammo is a bit worrisome. This is my departments carry load for our glock 21's. Which, should get enough velocity to expand. However we...

The way I look at is, I can't do any worse or better in my glock 42 by carrying the Lehigh Xtreme defender rounds.

I know they don't magically turn my 380 into a 9mm because of this bullet and...

I think the Lehigh defense 90gr extreme penetrator has been deemed the best you can do in a .380. But some guns won't feed it reliably so test it in your gun. This bullet penetrates 17"-20" range in...

Thanks for the reply Doc. I figured that the regular 180gr gold dot would be good to go, even from a 3" barrel. Which is great considering I have access to it at no cost.

My current lifestyle and...

So I picked up a Kahr PM40 for BUG/Off duty carry. We are issued Speer Gold Dot 180gr. Obviously this ammo is on the recommended list and is widely used by PD's across the country. But would it...

Ive been using the same Uncle mikes vest holster you tried. Even with a kahr CW9 or Ruger LCR it would show a little bit.

I wear blauer street gear that has a zipper under the faux buttons. Not...

Looking forward to some actual testing data for the 6.8 fusions.

Doc, one 6.8 round that seems like an unknown dark horse is the Nosler/SSA 90gr PPT bonded. The description of this round indicates...

Doc,

If the 115gr CLUB JSP is such a great all around bullet, wouldn't the Federal Fusion 115gr also be a good general purpose LE/self defense load as well? I see here you list it as a good...

There are several good choices, depending on what you are using it for but according to Doc the best for self defense/CONUS LE use are: Barnes 85gr TSX, Nosler 100gr Accubond, Hornady 110gr OTM,...

Speer Gold Dot 180gr JHP

Hello all. LEO for the last 10 years. New to the site. Long time lurker. I just picked a glock 42 yesterday for BUG/off duty use. Have been checking out lots of data trying to pick a round for it....
