I was wondering what anyone keeps loaded for home defense. Is this Hornady Critical Duty Ammunition 91376, 40 S&W, FlexLock, 175 GR, 1010 fps a good choice or would you guys recommend something else. Is JHP legal to use for this purpose, or is a No No?

JHP's are fine for home defense. If it worries you, go with the Hornady Critical Defense. I'm always loaded with Gold Dots.

Speer Gold Dot 155gr

 

Fast with lots energy.

Curious why you suggest 155 rather than 175gr. Is it for concern of over penetration and collateral damage. I would have thought the more energy the better, but perhaps not?

The speed makes the bullet expand quicker upon impact, hence creating a larger wound channel and transferring more of the energy to the target. And yes the bullet will not over penetrate whereas heavier slower moving bullets have been shown to.

 

I feel its all about speed and energy and not weight. Example = 55gr 5.56

 

I would like to get my hands on some of this stuff: 1500fps and 675ft lbs, thats 357 magnum territory

I like the 180gr pdx from Winchester.

I use 165 grain Speer gdhp short barrel rounds in a Glock 27

I have a variety, in a variety of Glocks (22/4, 23/4, and a 27/4). I started with 180 ammo, but have evolved to using 165 ammo.

Hornady CD is good stuff, just remember what ever you decide on, shoot it, know how it shoots and how you gun likes it.
