From the Knuckledragger:
“Hornady’s Critical Defense is my choice for carry ammo, both in .357 Magnum and .45 by God ACP. It’s both accurate and reliable.”
It’s also the most affordable “premium” self-defense ammo. I have it in my bedside .357, but I use Silvertips in my 1911. (That said, I’d use the Hornady CritDef there too, if I didn’t already have an ummm adequate sufficiency of Silvertips already.)
Also, I have the Sadz because of the accident at Hornady (see link).
