TOP-10-SELF-DEFENSE-ROUNDS-AMMO-FOR-CONCEALED-CARRYConcealed Nation – by Brandon

When it comes to self-defense ammunition, there are many different types and brands to choose from. Some are legitimate while others are passed off as gimmicks or even novelty. We’re going to take a look at the Top 10 Most Popular Rounds for Self-Defense and Concealed Carry.

The 10 rounds listed are in no particular order.

Keep in mind that every line of self-defense ammunition is likely to cover numerous calibers. Each caliber has it’s own strengths and weaknesses with the different rounds, as well as by themselves. The best thing to do is to research your specific caliber that you are searching for to see which self-defense rounds would be best suited for your needs.

You can even head over to YouTube and check out all sorts of ballistics testing with every round we have listed below. For convenience, we start you off with a YouTube review/test for each round.

This list is to simply show you some of the more popular rounds that are available for self-defense. It sometimes takes a while to find the perfect round but once you do, you’ll likely use it consistently. Some firearms hate this round, some firearms hate that round. You’ll learn what is right for your setup during your own testing.

    1. I find it somewhat disturbing that the advertisement for a nationally renowned ammunition manufacture depicts a person shooting unarmed and slow moving individuals.
      Why not just walk away?
      I have commented elsewhere, that my intention in carrying a weapon is to prevent harm to my family, myself and my property, not to kill or mutilate. Therefore, like the military of old under the “Rules of War”, I use FMJ ammunition.
      My personal view is that, it is the people who use rounds designed to mutilate, who are something less than human.

      1. It’s a running joke of mine.

        Besides, those “unarmed and slow moving individuals” (theoretically) are zombies, flesh-eating creatures.

        They’ll get ZERO sympathy from me.
