I've been carrying a 9mm for a while now, and I'm curious about what others use for self-defense. What hollow point ammo do you rely on? Any specific experiences to share regarding reliability or performance?
 
My preference is Hornady Critical Defense or the SIG V Crown hollow point, both in 115 gr weights. These have both proved to function very reliably for me. I think you can't really go wrong with any premium hollow point self defense ammunition as long as it is reliable in your gun. A lot of people love Gold Dot or the Remington Golden Saber too but those haven't been as accurate as the Hornady or SIG for me. YMMV...
 
Hey, for 9mm carry, I stick with quality hollow points, Hornady Critical Defense or Federal HST are really good and both feed reliably and expand like they should. Inhave been running em for a while, never had a stove-pipe or squib.
