9mmS SHORT AMMO
HI. WHAT FACTORY AMMO WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR A GLOCK 42? CARRY AND RANGE? I WAS THINKING OF SELLIER AND BELLOT OR SIG SAUER. WHICH WOULD BE BETTER?

Re: 9mmS SHORT AMMO
If I carried a 42 I would carry Hornady Critical Defense or XTP, Fedearl Hydra Shock or Gold Dot if I could get it. All get pretty close to the penetration we want from a carry round , with at least some expansion, and better QC than cheap plinking ammo.

Re: 9mmS SHORT AMMO
Yes Hydra Shock.
Because if you look at its performance in 380 , that which makes its spotty in service calibres makes it a viable 380 option
T series seems to do in 380 what hydra shock does in service pistol calibres. Either expanding dramatically and not penetrating or not expanding.

Re: 9mmS SHORT AMMO
Before you commit to buying, try cycling a mag of ammo of choice through your Glock. The .380 calibre can be picky with what ammo it feeds properly.

Re: 9mmS SHORT AMMO
I saw the ARX interceptor in .380 mentioned over on FB. Thoughts?

Re: 9mmS SHORT AMMO
I guess it comes down to personal preference. I wouldn't have included the Hydra-Shok on that list, but that's just me. I should add the .380 Winchester PDX-1 to that list as a good performer as well, in fact likely better than the T series. But with the .380 all are sub-par anything decent in 9x19.
