Handgun Ammo
Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of handgun ammo is best for personal defense?
For personal defense purposes, jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammunition is typically recommended, as it expands upon impact to transfer energy effectively and limit over-penetration, providing enhanced safety and reliability.
Is full metal jacket (FMJ) ammunition suitable for home defense?
While full metal jacket rounds are primarily designed for target shooting and training due to their consistent penetration, JHP ammunition is usually a better choice for home defense situations because it expands upon impact, reducing risks associated with over-penetration.
Can I safely use .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition interchangeably?
A handgun chambered specifically in .357 Magnum can safely fire .38 Special ammunition, but handguns chambered exclusively for .38 Special cannot accommodate .357 Magnum rounds. Always consult your firearm's manual for caliber compatibility.
Does handgun ammunition need special storage conditions?
To maintain optimal performance over time, store your ammunition in a cool, dry area away from extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture, or direct sunlight. Proper storage helps preserve reliability and lifespan.
Can I find bulk options for target shooting purposes on your site?
