I have narrowed my choice (more likely, it has been narrowed down for me) to 2 defensive handgun loads available at the LGS.  I live in a small town, nearest gun store is 20minutes away, next closest is 1 hour.  I prefer to use cash and do not like to order online with credit/debit cards.  For these reasons, I am limiting to what the store has on hand.

Out of what they have on hand, the 2 best choices are;

Hornady Critical Duty 9mm 135gr 25rds for $21.99

Speer Gold Dots 9mm 115gr 20rds for $23.99

Both function in my G19 gen4

Which ones should I carry?

P.S.  I already made my choice, I'm just curious what the hive says.

Go to youtube and watch Shooting the Bull 410's testing.
It won't take long for you to decide.

Not really representative of my situation.  He was using a SIG with a 3" barrel.  I'm using a g19, which has a 4" barrel.  The velocity will be higher in mine.

I use Hornady in 9mm.

I've never shot anyone with it, so I can't tell you if they are good.

Nope.  They only carry the 115gr, which I'm ok with.
