45acp flat points for SD? Thoughts?
Tuesday, August 19, 2025, 04:11

A few weeks ago WB brought up a discussion about using FP bullets for SD. I’m curious, I’ve been using HSTs in my shield. A few weeks ago I saw a video and several others after showing HSTs with great expansion but not a lot of penetration. I also saw that 185gr +p rem golden sabres penetrate really well and expand…but… would a 200 or 230gr FP at 900 be a better all around choice??

Just thinking about changing out my carry ammo… thoughts??
