An absolutely massive amount of data on self defense ammunition.
Some great information to help you decide which ammo to get... that is, if you can filter through the ton of information.

Excellent article. I'm printing that off for my smart book. I do wonder how Lawyers view this data. I have heard if you make mods to your firearm that a prosecutor can/could/would use that as negative information about you and your state of mind. I would think that carrying the most effective ammunition in your carry weapon could be turned against you.

Smart Thor Merich, below I have added a url regarding using handloads foe self defense. There are many articles on the subject but this one comes from a well respected trainer and LEO. Whether you believe what I said is up to you. Personally, I handloads for the range but carry factory ammo.

Handloaded Ammunition: Not a Good Idea for Concealed Carry/Self Defense
As an expert witness in shooting cases, Massad Ayoob knows what works and what doesn't. Find out why he avoids the use of handloads in self defense applications.

Maj Robert Thornton - Personally, I only use factory ammo for my "work" and use handloads for the range also. Its just good practice. While I will not argue with the esteemed Massad Ayoob, his example doesn't tell me the actual circumstances of the shooting. I suspect that there were other factors that made that particular shooting an issue besides the hand loads.

Maj Robert Thornton - The DA's job is to get convictions. Anything they can throw at a jury to help them build a case they will use. If a lightweight trigger, and hand loaded ammo can be used to convince a jury that a person was looking to kill, they will use it. Whether the jury accepts it or not is another matter.
