Hornady 45 Auto+P 230 gr XTP vs. Hornady 45 Auto 185 gr FTX
I have a model 30 that’s my EDC, it just fits my hands perfectly and I can drive nails with it plus I live in a constitutional carry state. Honestly I trust my life to either of these and I already expect a lot of comments recommending Gold Dots but the fact is they’re never in stock in my caliber at my local sporting goods haunts and generally on back order online and I’ve always been satisfied with Hornady’s quality.
I was really just wondering which you guys would prefer out of the two out of the shorter barreled of these were your choices and why? In particular which you would choose as your round in the chamber since I’m so indecisive I’ve got my magazines filled with both varieties. I’m leaning towards the +P full weight 230 grain hollow point, that’s what is currently chambered. Change my mind.🤷🏼♂️😂
