Like title states, can a civilian such as myself purchase "LE" ammo? Specifically Federal Premium Tactical HST 165grn 40S&W (P40HST3)

If so, what legitimate online site can I purchase from? I currently use Federal's 165gn Hydra-Shok round and kinda wanted a personal comparison. If it matters, my gun is a Glock 22 Gen 4.

Thanks! :)

Willing to bet the two Ammos are very similar. Look into hornady critical defense or critical duty stuff too

The HST is very similar to your hydra shok rounds bro....

Check out Hornady Tap FPD ammo as well... I have been using that for my 40 and 45 and it performs VERY well...

I didnt like the critical duty but the critical defense is nice...

If you really want a bad ass round... Check out Corbon DPX... Its really nice stuff

What are the main diffs between the HST and the Hydra-Shok rounds? Your guys' opinions on the two types are well appreciated. Lately I've been hearing that the Hyrda-Shoks penetrate to much, which got me a little worried. I will look into the Hornady brands, the Corbon ammo seems a bit to pricey. lol

Yes you will pay a little bit more for the Corbon but its WELL worth it

The hydrashocks are great rounds and they do really well and are reliable

From the guys i have talked to that run the HST they just have more expansion and create a larger wound cavity which in the name of self defense you want a round that does the most damage because its more likely to stop the threat...

The Hornady TAP is a VERY reliable round as well and in my personal experience it has performed very well and all the tests i watched for ballistics showed it performs well also

I recommend buying what the police use in their firearms. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you and me.

I can't imagine any but the most retarded gun banning states not allowing personal defense ammunition (which is pretty much what LE ammo is).

I disagree with the first part of this. Police departments have more to take into consideration when choosing their ammo than most think. They are more likely to have to use their firearms and use them in a more difficult situation than your every day Joe. With that in mind, just because it's good enough for them and fits their budget doesn't mean it's good enough for everyone else. In my area the cops use Speer Gold-dots. Not a bad round but not good enough for me. In all my 9mm's I carry Winchester Ranger SXT's (aka Black Talon's) either in 127gr +P+ or 147gr depending on which gun it's in. In my .45's I prefer Hornady XTP TAP FPD. I chose those particular rounds after doing my own tests with them along with researching them on the web.

He was taunting me. He's all like "come at me bro!" So I'm like "I'm coming at you bro!" And he's like "hey, fuck you" *chomp*. Then I killed it. I win.

^^^ you have truly taken being a lazy fuck to a new level tonight, an MRE. WOW
