Use JHP's for your self-defense rounds. If you use any of the name brands you
should be fine. In case you ever have to fire your weapon in self-defense, it will
help you if it reaches court. You can say that you chose the same brand xxxxx as the
LEO's use. You figure that the LEO's must know what they are doing, right?

As a new handgunner it would seem unlikely that you would immediately jump into
handloads, but don't use these as self-defense rounds even if you can get some from a
friend. Reason: An over-aggressive prosecutor may portray this as your need to have a
"more deadly" bullet. He could say your quality control at home meant you had too many
grains of powder. Blah, blah, blah.

As if using name brand .45 JHP's isn't deadly enough!

FMJ's are the usual for range ammo and they are cheaper.

But you should definitely run a healthy number of your chosen brand's JHP's through your
weapon to make sure they operate well.
