When I shot IPSc I loaded my own. For fun use whatever FMJ you can find thats cheapest like UMC and the like. FMJ would be the best for a stock 1911. If you plan on using it for self defence make shure you break it in with at least 200-300 founds first . Then find a JHP round that your gun likes. Some semi-auto's are picky about what they like. I had several boxes of Black Talon's I kept for self defence. I've also had good luck with Speer Gold Dot ammo. Any quality JHP will do the job. 45 acp is a great round.
