Accuracy and Self Defense Loads - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

UP ST NY TRANSPLANT · 03-10-2005, 10:05 AM

I have done searches and have read several threads on which self defense ammo is the best or the most popular.
What I want to know is, are any of the top self defense choices any more accuate than the others?
I know, I know, I know ammo is only as accurate as the shooter.
Has their been any test done to show these bullets accuracy?
From all the reading I have done on this forum about "which" self defense load to use I have come to one conclusion. That is shoot what you are comfortable with and what I am comfortable with is what I know will hit where I aim.

Your philosophy is just fine. Often the gun rags will report which ammo gave them the best groups but it's pretty worthless because accuracy of ammo varies by gun. So you should find what shoots accurately out of your own gun.

I guess what I am looking for is if their has been any test done with the XD and self defence loads.
I am trying to narrow down what to test through my own gun.
I don't want to waste anouther thread on which self defense load is best.
What I am looking for is if anyone has a link to any articles or web site that has done test with self defence ammo and or the XD, so I can do some reserch on my own.

Thanks in advance for any help.
