What ammo?

[Byrd666]

In a situation that we see in Israel now if/when the SHTF what 9mm ammo would you have, 115g ball or HP? The ball ammo is much cheaper in bulk. This would not be ammo for concealed carry rather for home and personal defense. I hope this makes sense.

Yes

If it's a choice between buying a little bit of HP, or a buncha Ball, to add to the nothing you already have, I say buy the ball...

First off is what can you afford? Defensive ammo is much more the cheap plinking ammo. Are you going to be running suppressed? Pistol or pistol caliber carbine? Biggest question what can you pistol handle? I have some +P+ Subgub 9mm that can crack slides & frames of many pistols.

I have always been of the school of thought the heavy bullets over lite are for killing. Heavy +P+ ammo might cause you to flinch & miss if you are recoil shy.

Does that price scare you? I'm planning on ordering some to supplement the 9MM FEDERAL PERSONAL DEFENSE 147 GRAIN HST JHP.

That's not a bad price. Glad I stocked up on 147 HST when it was $20/50. But I'll probably get a case of this just cuz.

Let me make sure that I have this right @msharley. You like 45-70.

 

[popsgarland]

It looks like the 45-70 is good for everything except humans.

Nope, @msharley doesn't really care for the 45-70.

This is the only meme he could find concerning bullets.

Ever see the Judge Roy Bean flick?

I was only joking with that post because you only showed game and no humans.

Didn't mean for you to take it seriously.

Don't ask @V-Tach to play. He'll break the internet.

Back when I was working every once in a while I get the random idiot who would want to buy meat in the kilos. I'd explain to them in America we really do not learn the metric system. I would go on to say the extent of my knowledge of it is 5.56 mm, 9mm, 7.62mm & 40mm. Of course some Karen had to stick her nose into it & break down kilos to pounds for me. I looked her straight in the face & said "If I could remember that & do the math I wouldn't be a meat cutter, besides the scales are not set up that way because this is America." That bitch went & complained to the management. When I got called on it I was like everything I said was true & I stand by it.

I load and shoot a lot of 124 gr, just cause, no other reason.

It’s worked well for the military.

 

[Nicholst55]

I use the same 9mm ammo for home and personal defense that i use for concealed carry.

147gr JHP, either speer gold dot or Winchester ranger. You aren't going to be getting into sustained firefights in SHTF, and if you are, your going to die quickly.

For bulk stuff i try to stock 124gr NATO

^^This^^

I have limited combat experience but wasn’t issued any HP ammo. Ball ammunition is sufficient.
