From the Knuckledragger:
“Hornady’s Critical Defense is my choice for carry ammo, both in .357 Magnum and .45 by God ACP. It’s both accurate and reliable.”
It’s also the most affordable “premium” self-defense ammo. I have it in my bedside .357, but I use Silvertips in my 1911. (That said, I’d use the Hornady CritDef there too, if I didn’t already have an ummm adequate sufficiency of Silvertips already.)
Also, I have the Sadz because of the accident at Hornady (see link).
The only flaw with Critical Defense is that it won’t feed in some smaller 9mms. My Bersa likes it, my daughter’s Taurus G2C doesn’t. It seems to like the Winchester red USA Ready ammo.
Well, 9mm Europellet… ’nuff said.
