What is most important when choosing ammunition for a gun?

What type of ammo should you carry with?

The three types of ammunition you are going to want to use for personal protection are full metal jacket (FMJ), jacketed hollow point (JHP), and frangible ammo. Full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition is essentially a swaged lead core with a copper jacket, designed specifically to get increased penetration on a target.

What is the most available ammunition for handguns?

9mm ammo. The 9mm ammo is easily the mostly widely used pistol round in the world. The 9mm is great for the range or self defense. They have enough power to penetrate well as close range, but still easy to fire with little recoil.

What grain of 9mm should I use?

The usual bullet weights for 9mm Luger range from 115 to 147 grains. Lighter and heavier bullets can be had, but they are not common for factory loads. The heavy bullets are generally 158-grains, but 165-grain bullets can also be had. Why such a heavy bullet?

What should I look for in carry ammo?

It must be accurate, reliable and capable of delivering a hard hit. Any effective defensive round must hit its target, preferably stay inside its target and deliver enough power on impact to stop that target from continuing aggressive action against the intended victim.

What is carry ammo?

Carry ammo has to do the job it’s made to do, which is fly straight, penetrate to sufficient depth and – in case of jacketed hollow points – expand sufficiently to open up a larger wound channel, dump the round’s energy into the target and come to a stop before exiting.
