9mm bullet for personal protection ...

[WyoBull]

The only pistol ammo I reload for is my 357 Magnum. I have a little bit different take on reloading for personal defense. For my wife's 9mm, I bought one box of 2 rounds that is for personal defense. For my 45 I have the same thing.
Then, for practice we shoot the heck out of the cheaper range ammo. I guess my take on it is why shoot 100's of rounds at paper with more expensive personal defense ammo?

A lot of handguns can be finicky depending on the load, bullet shape and length. It's a good idea to shoot your defensive ammo at least enough to make sure it works. I usually mix in a few mags of HST or Gold Dot anytime I shoot.

found some Gold Dots in-stock, directly from Speer. Got 'em today! Ready to load and shoot a few.
Also ordered some of the hornady XTPs, mainly because thats all the other supplier had in stock but I should be good now.
