The pistol I favor as a carry piece lately is a Colt LW Commander .45 ACP
My carry ammo is 230 grain ball. Sometimes called range ammo or target practice rounds, I have come to this conclusion because it has been the most reliable in the three 1911s I have owned.
I think a lot of the JHP 45 recommendations are more sales hoopla and not necessarily better defense rounds than 230 ball.
Jeff Cooper said it was good enough defense ammo and York supposedly killed seven Germans in a fire fight in France, WWI with a 1911 and ball ammo. So who to believe, facts or hear say?
