either 124gr +p HST's or 124gr +p Gold Dots

A few of the 147gr bullets seem to have inconsistent expansion on luckygunner's tests, although they penetrated very well due to that.

Depends on the length of the barrel youre shooting out off

Hornady critical duty for full sized pistols and Critical defense for all the new short barrel pocket pistols

The RIP cartridge has been known to be an exceptionally deadly round.

They're pretty much unsurvivable

>semi-compact and fullsize pistols (3.8"+ barrel)
It's pretty much a 3-way tie between Federal HST, Hornady XTP, and anything loaded with the Barnes XPB. To go with a +p or not or the choice between 124gr supersonic or 147gr subsonic is personal preference, they all perform within 1-2% of each other on terminal ballistics.
>compact and subcompact pistols
Sadly, none of the fuckhuge-hollowpoint bullets like the XTP or HST feed well due to very steep feed ramps, so probably Barnes XPB 115gr or Hornady Critical Defense 115gr. Yes I know that the Critical Defense doesn't open as reliably as the other defensive rounds out there but feed reliability>expansion reliability, at least you can always poke more .355" holes in the badguy.

Nice, so do you feel full auto would be useful in a shtf scenario or would you just say fuck it and keep it on semi. As for if it's fun shooting it full auto I already know the answer.

>>27924903

Not very practical. We only have a few left in service still and they've said they aren't buying more. They aren't as reliable as the other duty sized Glocks.
>>
>>27925008
But yeah, it's still really fun to flip over and cut loose with. I'm bad about flipping the switch accidentally when drawing from the Safariland Level 3 holster. I did it on the first shot of our last qualifying and rocked about 5 rounds from the 25yd. They were not all good hits. I could have probably held em all in had I realized, but it scared the shit outta me.
>>
>>27924850
I love my PPS, it fits really well in my hands and is surprisingly comfortable to shoot.
