Since there are no background checks for ammo, I imagine they can use whatever we can use.

Winchester Whitebox JHP is the cheapest self defense ammo at the sporting goods stores I go to.

Well, duh...they use those nasty cop-killer bullets that I heard about on T.V.

If this is true, how come they hit so many people they're not really shooting at?

I'm curious as to how many wear or even use holsters. If they do what style?

I'm of the opinion that if I see someone carrying a gun in a holster they are legit. If no holster and then the guy is up to no good. I'm guessing most are carrying their guns in the pocket of their hoodies.

LE info and experience would be welcome input.

I have discovered their guns to be loaded with the same varieties of ammunition everyone else uses.

"If this is true, how come they hit so many people they're not really shooting at?"

Because gun fights aren't like the square range, and even if they were, they're usually on the moral low road enough to sacrifice accuracy for speed.

Pitmaster,
I'd wager most criminals carry without holsters. However, I know that to not always be the case. Also, search the threads where folks here have admitted to carrying without holsters. I'm assuming they aren'tr criminals, even if they are perhaps misguided.

The pictures I have seen of seized guns up here show many loaded with an assortment of ammo, what ever they can get.
