Depends on which gun I grab.

I carry a mix of Federal 147gr HST, Hornady 135gr +P, and Speer 124gr +P gold dot. It just depends on what's nearby when I decide to load magazines.

In 9mm I only use micro 9s, specific for instances of personal carry when I can't do my usual .40 G23. I use HSTs, predominately the 150gr "micro" load, but I've also got a hoard of 147gr as well. HD I generally use other calibers over 9mm (12ga and .40). But I also have several MPX mags loaded up with 124gr +P HSTs as well for HD...um, just in case. Wink

Either 124gr HST or 124gr Gold Dot, both standard velocity. Although I'm gradually shifting more toward the 147gr HST (I've always been more a "bigger heavier bullet is better" guy, although I do understand that modern bullet designs have narrowed the gap). That said, my normal carry gun and my nightstand gun are both 1911 .45's, loaded with 230gr HST.

Hornady Critical Duty 124 gr +P or 135 gr +P flexlock, they feed in everything I have, which I like and the terminal performance seems to be good.
