Ok, so it seems we need a gun discussion thread

[Danny]

I think Danny mentioned it and it seems like a good idea. Somebody was asking about ammo for target practice and instead of cluttering up the other thread, I figured I'd take a stab.
For target practice and if you're not reloading Wal Mart ammo is just fine. (Whichester White Box "WWB" or Blazer) Will work. If reloading make sure it's brass though.

forgot to mention WWB and blazer. Through my experience blazer brass sucks. Its ok for a last minute grab, and if u have a stock pile of it by no means sell it. But i found the length varation to be wayyy to large. Matter of fact i have 5 .45acp blazer brass rounds sitting on my desk right in front of me, all of which are way longer/shorter than average (visually). I remember pulling them all out of the same 50rd box because i was having feeding issues in an old 1911 i used to have.

WWB is awesome, and from what i hear its on par with Ga-arms ammo. So if ur stock piling it, rock on!

Defensive ammo:
- I carry Hornaday TAP +P loads in all my guns. I have found it to be a good ammo. I plan on switching (but not throwing away my current small collection of TAP) to something else (to be determined) for tactical reasons only.

Very true. I mean just fine as in it works. The cases will be shorter and longer like you mentioned but you won't really notice it in a Glock or XD or Sig. In a gun where it needs to be pretty good (1911) you will for sure, Bangin Jimmy.
Defense, I carry Speer Gold dots. I love them.
