I’m new to concealed carry and trying to choose the right 9mm ammo. What brands do you all rely on, particularly when it comes to hollow points? Looking for something that's proven reliable in real situations.
 
If you're just starting, stick with proven hollow points like Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, or Hornady Critical Defense, test a few in your 9mm to see what feeds reliably and shoots well
 
My first carry ammo was Hornady Critical Defense 124gr FTX, it fed reliably, expanded well in testing, and performed consistently during drills. Now I carry that load for everyday confidence and reliability
