ConcealThis Poll: What’s The Ultimate Carry Load?

5. March 2009, 21:34 UhrGeneral News, Pollsadmin4 comments

There are tons of options out there when it comes to defensive carry ammo.  Some are good, some are great and others are just a gimmick and should be avoided.  Today, I run a ConcealThis Poll to get a reader’s opinion on what they consider the ultimate carry load.  For those familiar with defensive carry ammo and have done their research, some or all the options listed will be familiar.  For those of you new to handguns and ammo in general, the hard work is already done!

    Well, it looks like most of you like the Speer Gold Dot. Any care to share why they prefer this ammo over the other options listed?

    The Federal EFMJ is a nice load. However, the poll was to get an idea of what people consider the ultimate defense round, in terms of both expandability and penetration. I think the EFMJ is excellent under two conditions…

    1. If your semi-auto pistol is unable to feed a variety of hollow points flawlessly (100%).
    2. Ultimate Peace of Mind.

    Personally, it completely puzzles me as to why Federal did not design this for small-caliber pocket pistols like the .32 Auto. Now that’s where this particular round makes sense to me. I have a few pocket pistols and only choose to load FMJ ammo. I may mix the two in, but FMJ is what is recommend for small caliber pistols. I seriously wish Federal would have released the EFMJ for these small pistols!

    Why didn’t you list Federal EFMJ+P? That’s what I listed as “other”
