[Greg1911]

I am carrying the 230 hydro shoks if I can handle the 185 +p's would it be a better choice faster but less bullet so would that make it a smaller hole when expanded

I don't think you'll get any consensus on this. But personally; I'd stick with the 230-grainers you have - if they feed reliably and shoot accurately enough for you.

I would study up though - read and study all you can find on the subject. But this one is a good place to start....

You might want to check out the Guns and Ammo Annual article on stopping power. (The Annual was on my newsstand a week ago, more or less.) It isn't the last word in ammo effectiveness, surely, but it has some food for thought.

If God didn't want us to own guns, why did He make the 1911?
