Federal Hydra-Shoks in my Beretta 92FS
I was advised to use what local LEO uses so some overzealous, anti-gun DA can’t try to accuse me of using “cop killer” bullets, even if I’m using them against a criminal in defense of my life.
I use what I need and what proven most effective. The pistol I carry is a Sig 239, but I rarely carry, small town West Texas theres not much to worry about here. The pistol that rides in my console is an old T series Browning Hi-Power that was my last duty pistol. My days are spent on the ranch and rattlers, coyotes and feral hogs are the only thugs I have to deal with. I’ve probably taken close to 35 hogs of various sizes, over a dozen yotes and more rattlers than I can count. I use nothing but FMJ’s in both, I like the penetration and I’m a firm believer in leaving them bleeding out both sides. For home protection I have a Jack Russel and a Ithaca model 37 riot model loaded with 00 buck.
I mix ammo in my mags. 3 hydra shocks then 3 FMJ. 15 rounds for my 92FS.
