SD Ammo for 1911
I'm getting closer to the day that I'm going to start carrying the Valor on occasion as my EDC. I normally carry Gold Dots as my self-defense ammo of choice. Are there any recommendations of other brands that I should try out? I usually shoot a few hundred rounds of the carry ammo before making a final decision

The deadliest Defense Ammo I know of. It's what I carry and It Performs Very Well in My Valor's!

Asym or Wilson Combat with the Barnes bullet. They load with VihtaVentori (sp) low flash powder. I carry nothing else. I shot it side by side in an indoor range...like night and day, literally. It is EXPENSIVE, which is why I shall buy the powder and bullets and load my own when available

I have a box of Winchester JHP I carry when I do carry my 1911. I really need to get another round for SD, but I don't carry the 1911 very often.
So I could use the help with ammo myself.

I watched tnoutdoor's 45 videos and it looks like PDX1, Gold Dots, and Hydra Shoks all will work, but the HST looked nasty when it came out of the test block. I'm going to order some of that and try it out. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Andy, buy 20 rounds of the Wilson Combat stuff with the Barnes bullet and shoot it at night or at an indoor range. Humor me
 They load with VV N320 or 310. Cuts the flash to less than half of say, Hydrashock. They may use the Hornaday XTP bullet in some loads too.

I'm not plugging Hurricane Ammo, but he will work with Barnes bullets and probably has access to low flash powder. If you google Hurricane, there have been some delivery problems.... But...Matt, the owner, always was straight up with me. I haven't ordered from him in maybe two years since I'm outta buildings to fill with ammo. Hehehe
