I carry 180gr. .40 cal Speer gold dots in both my mags. I've toyed around with 165gr. in a variety of brands but shoot tighter groups and enjoy the 180 more.

I have Silver Tips and Black Talons in my 10mm right now and as soon as I test the Hydra Shocks I may be packing them instead and carry the Black Talons in my spare mag.I have Silver Tips in my 45 and Ball ammo in the back up mag.

Will carry a 10mm when my Para barrel gets back from Hunter Customs. Then I will use either Double Tap 135gr JHPs or 180gr XTPs.

I have used 165 and 180 gr. Gold Dots for my .40 S&W USP's. I'm now carrying 200 gr Hornady XTP from Double Tap. It hits at 500 Ft-Lbs. After reading some of the FBI data, I'm an advocate of a heavier bullet.
