My current personal defense gun is a CT equipped Glock 22 with Federal 165 gr Hydra Shoks, but having bought my new SW1911PD and seeing that I shoot very well with it, I'm wondering what other people use for defensive ammo. I was looking at the ballistics of the Hydra-Shok versus the Federal HST and the HST definitely looks better on paper, but Hydra-Shoks have been around for a quite a while. Anyone have any thoughts/experience using these rounds in 1911s?
Also, would it be foolish to use +P ammo if I don't shoot with +P regularly?
