This is strictly defensive bullets for your EDC and caliber doesn't matter for this discussion. I mentioned earlier that I alternate different weight bullets in my 9mm EDC. For the moment, forget that one of them is a fragmenting bullet but one is 90 grains and the other is 147 grains. A lot of people using 9mm seem to prefer either a light and fast, 115 gr. +P+ JHP bullet or a heavy slow 147 gr. JHP bullet, but no one ever mentioned using both for defensive purposes in our EDC. The same can be said for larger caliber guns, lite and fast versus slow and heavy.
Keep in mind that the most likely scenario will occur within 21 feet and at night. More likely you will be point shooting and not using a site picture in order to stop the threat. The slow heavy bullet will make larger holes because there's more mass to mushroom, but a lite fast bullet will cause deeper terminal damage and is more likely to hit vital organs. As far as I'm concerned, one shot stops happen in movies only and follow up shots are necessary to stop a threat with a hand gun.
So what do you think, good idea or bad idea to alternate different weight bullets in your EDC and why.
