Winter vs Summer SD ammo selection?

[Hkpistole]

Is there any reason to carry different ammo accordingly.
I know some hollow point ammo will clog slightly with more material from jackets and such.
Alot of talk with good self defense ammo is barrier penetration so i figured i would see what you guys thought about seasonal selection.
Different weights help at all with heavier clothing? Not that im a fan, but i guess this is where Critical duty/defense/ guard dog type stuff is popular.
Right now i carry HST 124+p 9mm in my P2000sk.
my other past load out/ options have been
>HST 124gr
>Ranger T 124gr +p
>Ranger 147gr (was cary load for about a year)
>Corbon DPX 115gr +p (curious if better than my hst +p
>Gold Dot 124+p

It probably doesn't make that much difference. If you want a heavier bullet, carry a .45 during winter time or switch to bonded ammo.
By the way, I use the same setup as you do. LEM? hehe

Pick a good SD round that cycles well in your gun and that you shoot well with and don't over-think it.

^^ That.

I've found that 230 gr Federal HST's go bang both in winter and summer. :)

Yup the HST is a great round and one that I've tested allot with no clogging issues, until i shot into about 8 layers of denim, that got it to fail to expand... But the DPX solid copper went thru and expanded... Here are some HST in .45 .40 and 9mm.

In a word- No.

Stick with any of the currently offered premium JHPs and you should be fine all year long.

Any of these should be just fine.
