What do you use in your concealed carry gun?
Only Factory Rounds.
My Reloaded Ammunition.
and what is the....
Caliber, Bullet weight, Powder Type and Powder Amount.
This has been a running debate for a couple of decades. It was further complicated recently when Massad Ayoob posted examples of a few cases where handloads had presented legal problems for the shooter.A couple of issues back there was an article in Handloader debunking the use of handloads and having extra troubles because of this fact.
In fact, though, I prefer factory loads; I know others will jump on my case, but I have had a lot fewer problems with factory ammo than with my own reloads. On the odds, I will go with factory.

I have actually had the opposite experience.
I've had more failures with factory ammo than I have with my handloads.
My problem is that I have no trouble envisioning a slimy lawyer, his face contorted with greed, claiming that I "concocted evil mankiller bullets in the dark of night" or insane stuff like that. Not in a criminal case, of course, but in the inevitable civil suit where there is no such thing as a "cut and dried" case of self-defense and you are subject to a no rules, no holds barred attack on your judgement, your integrity, your conscience, and everything else.
