I don't carry a .40 anymore, but if I did I have a pile of 180 Gold Dots.

180gr HST.
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
180 HST unless I’m carrying a .40 as a hunting sidearm, when I switch to DoubleTap 200 gr hardcast.

180 grain HST… only because it’s what we used to carry and I have a decent amount.
I have a few boxes of 135 grain HST.
