Re: ammo for your ccp

Winchester Ranger 135 grain JHP .40 S&W.

For .45ACP I use 230 grain Hydro-shok from Federal.

For .38 special the FBI load from Federal or Winchester if the revolver will take lead bullets. 129 grain Hydro-shok if Jacketed is needed.

In .380 the 90 grain Federal Hydro-shok.

Re: ammo for your ccp

I think highly of Gold Dot and would be happy to use them in any of the auto rounds if I ran out of Hydro-Shoks and resupplied with Gold Dots.

Re: ammo for your ccp

When I carry a .45acp, it's loaded with Gold Dot. When I carry my 9mm, it's loaded with Ranger +P+.....

Re: ammo for your ccp

Not too picky. Xtp's, gold dots, hydroshocks, lswc hp's. Sometimes I even carry hardball in my. 45's.

Re: ammo for your ccp

I have my concealed license for WA state, only have it because when I was stationed at Fort Lewis, one of my good friends was going in to get his and I tagged along, but I never carry my pistol, it usually stays at home. I have a Ruger KP90, only thing I’ve added is a Hogue grip, just uses the standard .45
