Short barreled 45 acp ammo opinions needed
I have been testing the same with my 3.3" XDs. So far the clear winners are Gold Dots loaded to +p in 200 and 230gr weight. They open up as good or better than most other HPs in a 5" barrel. I still want to test the HSTs but haven s been able to get my hand started on any for a reasonable price.
In the numerous bullets I have tested into water and other things, the Gold Dots are the best performing at lower velocities in several calibers. They are my go to for most things.
200gr Gold Dot, 230gr Gold Dot loaded to +P pressure out of a 3.3" XDs.
124gr 9mm Gold Dot one standard and one +P out of a S&W Shield
