Defense ammo not stocked?

[Sirshredalot]

Ive been to four different stores now and no one has anything in stock other than the old hydra-shocks and the hornady gummy stuff in 185gr....other than one shop that also had some of that gimmick RIP junk.

Does anyone stock HST's, Gold dots, or Golden Sabre's in 230gr 45 and 125gr 9mm anymore?..

I need to check function of a new gun and cant find the ammo to do it.

God bless

It's not hard to find online if you can't find it locally. I'm always on the lookout for Federal HST in 9mm and locally it's like finding a unicorn fart in a hurricane.

Online is where I get my EDC ammo, stores mostly have the bulk FMJ rounds.

I've had good luck getting the HST at Bone Frog Gun Club online. I have also picked up some at the Gun Show at the Holt Road Armory

While we all have our favorites in 45 a 230 jhp is basically a 230 jhp. As for 9mm while the HST and Gold Dots are one of the best ISP didn't have any issues with their Hydra Shocks back in the day. I wouldn't feel to bad with the and do in fact have several hydra shocks along with Hornady Critical Duty for my 9's. I would get what you could for carry until you found your preferred load (which what else can you do) you will probably live through the night just fine. But online is probably the way to go, just order 500-1,000 to last your carry needs for a while.

But I am with you in there seems to be a lack of choices for duty/defense type ammo. Seems like the 9mm is especially harder to find since its cool again.

Up north here, Midwest stocks HST's, Gold Dots, and a few others. When they do have them in stock, they are not cheap. A box of 20 HST's was $33. You can find boxes of 50 online shipped for that price.

I'm using Winchester PDX-1 in my carry guns now. Meijer and Walmart stock them.

I use hst in my .40. Pdx1 is my 9's. Hydra shocks in .357. Locally hst is harder to find but I see gold dots etc all the time. Also use mag tech in my .380.

Buy from sgammo.com and you will stop looking locally. They are good people. Also, buy the 50 round boxes and save a lot of money.

Also I have witnessed three human shootings with Rem. GS rounds in two different calibers, save your money and buy HTS, gold Dot or Ranger.

This. Can't say enough good about SGammo. Good selections and good prices. They also tend to ship in as discrete packaging as legally possible, which is nice for anyone getting deliveries held at an apartment office or the like.
