If the first eight rounds of Gold Dot Hollow Point in my pistol don't neutralize the threat I'm facing, I sure hope the seven in my spare mag do the trick. After that it's time to run.

I carry the same ammo in all reloads as what's in the gun. For me it's about consistency, I don't want to throw alternating recoil & gun performance characteristics into what's likely already turned out to be a bad day.
I carry Remington Golden Sabers but also like and have carried Winchester SXT and Federal Hydrashocks (125gr. in .38spl, 230gr. in .45acp). Jack |

Primary mag in the 10mm has JHP's. the second mag has roundnose jacketed hardball. Thats the only one I keep that way.

Max in the stack for stopping power, any thing less potent in the spare mag is is just plain stupid.

I wouldn't say fmj is less potent than JHP, it's just optimized for different applications. While fmj offers more reliable feeding in an auto platform and better pentration, the main reason I don't carry it is the possibility of overpenetration. If the SHTF I doubt we'll be able to set up a perfect shot where we have full control over who and what's beyond the BG. To that end, I choose quality JHP both for the increase in wound channel and for limiting penetration to the primary target (as much as we can HAVE control over such things).

I don't worry about overpenetration. The numbers just aren't there to support the fear - we don't have an epidemic of people dying or even being injured in such instances or else the gun grabbers would spend lots of time going into it.
What I worry about is terminal ballistics and stopping what I shoot. Any handgun I own and am willing to carry will feed and function with any factory-spec ammo on earth or it's off the table. Modern guns should have *zero* problem feeding JHP - if they do, there's a problem with the gun.

I suppose I should add that the vote in the poll is impossible.
I don't carry anything, let alone a live weapon, cocked and locked. I'm not Mr. 1911.
