I carry with 147 grain self defense hollow point ammo. Is it bad to train with 115 grain FMJ ammo instead of 147 grain FMJ? Would the difference noticed be worth the price increase in 147 compared to 115?
After you confirm that your carry gun reliably cycles and accurately fires the carry ammo, I would guess the only concern would be training with a different perceived recoil and a likely different point of impact but the magnitude of those differences are uniquely dependant on the shooter and the specific firearm.I carry with 147 grain self defense hollow point ammo.

What grain is your carry ammo? Not sure if I should stick with 147 grain or go to 124 grain and have my practice ammo 124 grain also.After you confirm that your carry gun reliably cycles and accurately fires the carry ammo, I would guess the only concern would be training with a different perceived recoil and a likely different point of impact but the magnitude of those differences are uniquely dependant on the shooter and the specific firearm.

For the average citizen protecting themselves or family, doesn't matter as your engagements distances will be well within 10 yards if you want to say out of jail. If your an officer, on tactical team and practicing engaging distant threats then it matters.
I have to think at self defense distances and situations the difference is not going to be noticeable.I carry with 147 grain self defense hollow point ammo.

Any minor change in recoil is going to be undetectable in the massive difference the adrenaline wave will bring.

Pretty sure I'd be justified shooting a charging mountain lion well before it got to 10 yards.
No, as an apex predator the mountain lion serves an important purpose in the ecosystem.are not they the same as a mall ratlol

Given the circumstances that's pretty impressive.Weird, Indiana hero took out an active shooter from 40-50 yards and isn't going to jail
as reported by WRTV Indianapolis.10 yrds is 30 feet .. i wonder what the distance was for the guy at the Indiana Mall in the food court was .. who saved a bunch of lives in a so called gun free Zone and didn't even need a pistol permit ..
there is that 21 foot rule too .. the guy with a knife within 21 feet will get you most of the time .
just saying ..
So you think some of DA's in NY state would do the same?Weird, Indiana hero took out an active shooter from 40-50 yards and isn't going to jail

Not a chance. No stand your ground stuff here.
I mean this is a NY forum thatvaddresses NY gun issues not Indiana. Using your weapon in the manner of which that great young man did isn't going to fly here.
Just look at the Bodega worker charged for defending himself with a knife.

I don't think it was racism. I think that DA would have charged the same no matter what the races were.Facing Public Backlash Activist Manhattan DC Drops Murder Charges Against Bodega Owner Who Was Acting in Self Defense

No doubt it was only the public pressure and ridicule against this activist Manhattan District Attorney that caused him to reverse course.
The entire episode, including the ridiculous charges against Jose Alba, was fraught with racist undertones from the district attorney’s office.
