IMO, it would be Corbon Powerball(expensive)or QuikShot (cheap, adequate)135 gr - 155 gr JHP for defense and any 165 gr - 180 gr for target shooting, if your're not a reloader. I shoot brass so I can reload them again.

Speer Gold Dots is always the right answer. For .40 I prefer the 165 grn.

I prefer 165gr as well for self defense. i carry hornaday xtp's, but there are many out there that are perfectly fine for personal defense. remington golden sabers, speer gold dots, elderado starfires, winchester sxt's hydra-shocks. these are just a few, but you should really check out each of them, and see which ones you are more comfortable with, and which one feeds and shoots better in your gun, both recoil and accuracy wise!

Ranger 180s are in my opinion (and the opinion of many others) the best.
I also think you can't go wrong with the 165 and 180 Gold Dots. |

+1 I used them in a police action shooting about a year and a half ago. Fired from a Glock 23 (approx 4 inch barrel) They performed perfectly. The only thing that may talk me out of them is the new Bonded Golden Sabers. Gold Dot and Corbon will perform well also but I stick to the 155-165gr stuff only..! Ultimately where you hit them is far more important than what you hit them with. |

Hornaday xtp's in the 155gr offering. they are accurate in my xd and kahr k-40 and are very managable recoil wise.
