What are you keeping loaded in case you have to 'bust a cap'?
What are you keeping loaded in case you have to 'bust a cap'?
Depends on the gun... Specifics?
12 GA, 2 3/4" Winchester Super X 00 Buckshot
M4 5.56mm Green Tip FMJ
.40 Federal Hydra Shok JHP's In the XD.
Those are the 3 loaded guns in my house.

I gotta restock for my .40
Don't know if I should go with the hydra shok's or PowR balls.
Ive seen what they all do to bulletproof Glass. Ill stick with the Hydra Shok's or Cor Bon JHP's
Lets see
Glock 23 Speer Lawman .40 S&W 180 grain (hollow point)
Glock 22 Hornady .40 S&W 180 grain TAP (hollow point)
12 GA Hornady TAP 00 Buckshot
AR-15 Hornady .223 TAP 60GR followed up by unknown 55GR FMJ rounds.
What grain are you shooting in the hydra shoks? 155?
165 Grain For the .40.
And this is why I use the Super X Winchester Buckshot. From 20 yards it went ALL THE WAY through the truck. This is what sold me on it. I always used Federal prior to this. But the federal rounds barley made it through the first side.
my .45 220 grain fmj

I really would like to keep my 9mm 17 in the clip one in the chamber,but the immensely huge stopping power that the .45 has even tho i think it only holds 8 rounds is just to great to not use it,plus it only takes one. the 9mm has a lazer on it tho so maybe i keep them both loaded and in my new safe

I have Daisy pellets in my Benjamin Co2 pistol to piss em
off enough to enter the premisis, after that if they make it
by my screaming girls they are too tough for me to want to
mess with...doh!

A 180JHP is going to do more damage then a 220FMJ. A 220FMJ is just going to go straight through them most likely. A 180JHP is going to impact and explode... A straight through shot gives better chance of survival. Shrapnell in your body, no good.
Cor Bon Makes a 230 Grain JHP if you must have the biggest factory loaded .45 JHP.

yeah a straight threw shot from a 45 will pretty much kill,maime and or dismember both,I feel pretty safe at that point.

I would disagree my 45 would prolly tear your arm off or close to it

True dat. You want big wound cavity and energy dump in the target.
Just about all the major manufactures HP's are good, pick the one that works best in your gun. Accuracy and reliable feeding.
I have no trouble with protecting myself with a 9, .40 or .45. I mean between a 9 and 45 we are talking .10", not an RPG and a .22

check the grain behind the projectile that makes a huge difference also.i would take a 45 over a 9mm for stopping power anyday.
