Thread: Bulk ammo preferences for wife's G-43 practice

  1. #21
    My 43s have eaten mostly Federal American Eagle 124, but I've fed 'em just about everything and they're not ammo picky at all.

    They are snappy with 124, but I like it because it makes my carry load (147 HST) a little bit mild in comparison.

    I found the Federal American Eagle Suppressor 124gr. fmj to be quite pleasant to shoot from a Glock 43. AE9SUP1 is listed @ 1030 fps from a 4" barrel.
    Just under $15.00 for 50 rounds

    Whatever weight the gun likes and shoots to POA. My preference is heavier for self defense, 124 and up. In my testing across a bunch of guns, I’ve found that most of my guns shoot most accurately with either 115 or 147 grain bullets. 147 grain ammo can be softer shooting if recoil is a concern. In general, heavier bullets will shoot higher than lighter ones.

    In .380, haven’t noticed much difference in standard 95 grain ball loadings. Some of the boutique “+P” stuff is pretty stout. My favorite ball load is the Italian produced Fiocchi, 380AP. Not the Hungarian made Fiocchi stuff which is 380APC IIRC.

    The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
    disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
