I carry Federal Premium LE Tactical HST in 9mm. I'm guessing it works, if I had a ballistics gel dummy I'd love to find out for sure, but in the meantime it's what I have. LEOs have stricter safety constraints than we do, so I'm only making the assumption that these bullets help bridge that gap between safety and effectiveness albeit still to a very lethal point.

Glock 19 - Personal favorite
Beretta 92FS - First gun ever to own.
Bersa Thunder .380 - If I had bullets I'd have broken it in by now... might should have gotten a Sig instead.

When someone finds the perfect concealed carry weapon and ammo, could they please send mer an email.
Practice ammo should be cheap. and available.
Should have a perfect grip and point.
Should be instant kill and stop when a bullet hits COM
Should be a tiny so easy conceaL
gun should allow cartridge to develop the full power to the bullet.
should have a long sight radius.
Should have minimal kick to allow fast recovery.
Should have large ammo capacity.
should be safe to carry.
A 3lb or less trigger,
Should be cheap.
Should be point and shoot.
Should fit well in my huge hands but in family members small hands.
Should be simple to train and shoot with.

Every gun Choice Every Ammo choice is an engineering trade off.
