Federal Hydro Show Or Self Defense Ammo??

Featured Replies

Have any one use any of the Hydro Shok? It will be for my 45acp. Or what are your brand of self defense ammo? I do have Hornady Critical Defense for my 357 but was wondering about the Federal's.

I use .38 Spec. Hydro-Shoks in my .357 Mag. SP-101, when I'm out in public, or for home defense. Less likelyhood of a a through-shot bullet damaging other folks or property. And they perform quite well at <10 yards. Very accurate at the range too. Wish they weren't so expensive, but that's the name of the game these days.

I have used hydro shok or Speer gold dots for years

I have carried Hydra-Shoks (with an a) off and on for years.  It's a good self defense round.

I'll have to check put the Sig line. I just bought a box of Hydra Shoks last week for my 45acp.

The Federal hydroshock is great in 45.  

I really like Speer Gold Dot 230gr HP.   Hard to find but it's a nasty round.
