i carry 165's critical defense in my 40c.
i dont think its garbage... it cycles like butter doing a 10rd mag dump and other various cycle rates.
all ammo posted is a good choice, but i like the numbers of the 165 critical defense better than others, it works well in my gun, and im sure the guy at the other end will not know the difference between an internet crazed HST and a CD...shit, i could load up a FMJ and id still be comfortable knowing they will be going down.
to each their own, get whats available at your LGS or cabelas etc.
