cheytac, can you get good hollow points like Federal, Corbon etc? If so ANY of your options will be good. If you can't, then the biggest bullet you can get a good supply will be the best choice, provided you can shoot it well. The recoil of a 9mm is about half of the recoil of a .45 ACP or .44. An advantage of ammo used by the local police or army is that in times of shortage, you can get ammo from the local boys. If you are the only guy in 100 miles using .44 you are on your own for finding ammo.

Regards.
