My wife has a 9mm, and I have a 1911 45acp that are kept in a small safe in our room. Both are loaded up with Gold Dot's, and am confident in the performance of both.


BigJ12- Sounds like you have a fine setup. My only quibble would be in the hydrashoks. I have tested several different HP over the years, and I was less than impressed with the HydraShoks. The hollow point seems to plug up with clothing way too often, resulting in little to no expansion. Here are a few that have proven to me to work well through clothing, and offer good expansion/penetration.

Corbon DPX
Speer Gold Dot
Winchester SXT

But that is just my personal preference. Good luck.
