Not to pile on, but coincidentally came across this related post today - Should You Change Your Defensive Ammunition During Colder Weather? | Active Response Training

Actually I compliment you for asking the question with an open mind and not bloviating.

I'm in the same stuff all of the time category. Don't over think it OP.

Chez your post was pretty awesome!

Same ammo all year round. Do police departments change out their duty ammo depending on the season? No, no we do not. I personally carry 165 grain Federal HST in 40 S&W. Very happy with ballistics, and they are very accurate. I carried a 9mm for a long time before switching to .40, so I like the lighter, faster bullets. Nothing wrong with a heavier one, though. There are a lot of options out there, and it ultimately comes down to preference. Do some research, and find something you like.

I don't change my carry ammo depending on the time of year.

But I do switch to tracer ammo when it gets dark out. This way I just spray in the general location then eventually steer my way in to the target. Plus with tracers I can shoot from the hip and this all comes in handy when I'm ****faced drunk.

I carry the same type year round. I understand the thought behind it but a good reputable companies self-defense ammo should be fine.

I do not recommend carrying FMJ for defense.

Excellent points. I think I will start carrying tracers at night, too. Thanks for the advice!

Same carry ammo all year (Hornady Critical Defense). Caliber may vary depending on the season & attire.

We will most likely never know. He's no longer among the active posters.

As long as it's clean and has no holes in it, per instructions from our childhood!

And here I thought this thread was going to be about the few odd cartridges that the big ammo makers only make before deer season.

One of which is 30-40 Krag. I guess Remington only runs this caliber just before deer season.
