Signed up for a personal defense class, kind of the next class after a CCW.
Six hours, some classroom and range time. I need to bring a weapon, holster, 3 magazines, two-mag carrier and belt, and about 150 rounds.
In my Springfield XDM 3.8, I carry Federal 147 gr. jacketed hollowpoints, and for my "normal" range use, load Armscor 124 gr. full metal jacket round nose.
There is a perceptible difference in recoil between the two rounds. For this class, where we will be doing followup round target acquisition among other skills, should I be using my personal defense rounds? I'm thinking it matters in this kind of training, but your advice appreciated.
Thanks.
