The gun on my nightstand....is loaded with FMJ. I wanna be tactical when I grow up.

nightstand ??? , P loads under my pillow 
| There is no wisdom there. I like the gun, it runs well on FMJ, and I haven't had the time to go buy 75 boxes of different brands of ammo to see what it shoots(and won't). It's a Springfield GI, so I suspect it won't feed hollowpoints all that well. The wife's .38 Super on the other hand, is loaded up with 125 grain Cor Bon. |

You guys have been around long enough to know what's the best options for self defense ammo are, so I don't think we need to go into all that. It's your pistols, use what you want.
I guess I'm just old fashioned. I don't keep or carry a pistol for defense unless it will shoot anything I feed it. I have a few range toys, but the go to guns are kept loaded with the best defensive rounds I can afford.

Its just that when I have to pop a damn armadillo(3 just this month), I'd rather use the cheaper FMJ for it. Kinda funny now that I think about it. My 1911s are Kimbers, which are far from cheap, yet I choose to use practically the cheapest ammo in them  Well, no wolf anyway

My Springfield eat up all the HP I feed it, you just need to shoot you 1911 in had the same problem at first just needed a few boxs of good ammo just keep the (p) for home
