ith the best ammo i can get.


EXACTLY. I got the cheap stuff for practice, and the maximum quality self defense round for when I’m not practicing.

That’s a money saving idea, sure. But make sure “the cheap stuff” and your carry ammo have similar chacteristics and point of aim. I am reminded of fighter aircraft and tracer rounds used during WWII. The pilots used tracer rounds to adjust their point of aim. Unfortunately the tracer rounds had different ballistic performance than the regular rounds. This caused the pilots to miss with the non-tracer rounds. Once the military figured this out they revised the tracer so it had similar ballistics to the non-tracer. Every once in a while splurge and practice with your carry ammo.

FWIW
