Personal Protection Revolver Ammo Choices

[45acp]

 Carry a taurus 605 357 and was wondering other peoples thoughts, iam new to revolvers thanks

The 605 is nearly identical to my Ruger SP101.

I carry Federal HS 158 gr JHP in mine.  They're a bit brutal to shoot more than a few cylinders but for defense, they hit darn hard and get the job done.

Practice with .38's and occasionally .357, light load target stuff of all brands.  I don't reload, yet!

The new Hornady Critical Defense ammo looks very promising especially in +P loads.

125 gr. JHP Federal 357 Mag - tends to put receiver of bullet into at the very least, with a non vital  wound, into shock.
125 gr JHP Remington 357 Mag little less potent round.

 I've always used, "whatever" 158 grain factory loads for the range and "whatever" 158 gr. HP's for carry.
I'm still here, YMMV.

I second this, or as the forum folks say, "+1".

don't forget the old standard  of gold dots.

I've always carried the Federal 130 Grain Hydra-shok in my .357 carry guns and use the 129 +P in the .38 specials, Hits hard and very accurate
