What ammo do you keep in your guns?

[jared@barringtons.com]

Just cerious what guns people keep loaded at all times, and with what ammo, and why.
As for me, I keep all my guns ready to role ( exept for revolvers, which I don't have any of at the moment ) because you never know for sure which you will need in what situation, although I generally keep my rifles reserved for long range stuff, such as if the 1 in a million situation erose where a nabors kid were being hauled off with a kidnapper or some bizare thing like that. My actual choice for home defense is my Colt T-22.

* .22 Magnum MAS 1935-A............Not yet functional.

* Colt T-22.............CCI Velocitors ( highley potent for their caliber.

* Bulgarian Makarov...............Silver Bear JHP ( only ammo I ever bought for the gun.

* Beretta M-92F Inox............Cor Bon 125gr JHP ( low penatration and getting hit by one is like getting hit by a cannon ball.

* Desert Eagle MARK VII .44 Magnum......Miwall 240gr JHP ( most reliable and consistant ammo I can find, and low in penatration.

* SKS...........Remington JSP ( it's that or ball ammo, and I have no desire to further invest in quality ammo for a gun I am trying to sell.

* Enfield No.4...........Remington JSP ( versatile ammo )

* M-1 Carbine...........Winchester 110gr FMJ ( the only ammo I have for it at the moment.

* Mossberg 500..........Federal Heavy Load No.6 ( highley potent at short range and won't overpenatrate.

House rifle uses winchester q3131a bullets, shotgun # 1 buckshot, swmbo's model 28 uses 158gr hollow points loaded to around 1500 fps.

I don't keep the SAW's, AT-4's, Dragons, SMAWS, Uzis, Mini-Guns, M16's, 81 mm Mortars or M2 Brownings loaded because i don't own any of those either.

The loaded 45 acp pistols I have for personal defense are stocked with black talons...the 9mm contains hydrashoks or corbons and the 40 is loaded with STHPs.

[BigAL]

All my pistols are loaded w/ Winchester Ranger T LEO ammo in the .45 or 9mm versions. Fed XM193 in my ARs.

[Black_Talon]

I don't keep any of my 1911's loaded. that'd be way to dangerous. Heck, they might jump up off the table and shoot someone!

If I did keep them loaded, it would be with WW Ranger T or Gold Dot.

[BigRich]

Only 2 loaded firearms at a time in this house. The pistol that is nearby, if a 9P is loaded with CorBon 115, if a 45acp is loaded with Rem 230 Golden Sabre. The remaining gun is a Mossberg 590A1 18" next to the bed stuffed with Fed Tactical 00 Buck. This is after all Walnut Creek and almost nothing ever happens here. I don't even get trick or treaters much. I cannot conceive of an occasion where I would need a rifle at all, much less in a hurry. We have diligent PD guys, an alarm system and two very vocal dogs in a neighborhood that is dead asleep by 10 pm except for myself.

Standard linked .308 ball on my 1919 with a wheel attached to a pedestal mount so I can chase the would be burglar down the street.

[El Capitan]

My Glock 29 sits filled with Double Tap 180 gr JHP 10mm's.

Whaaaaat? Loaded guns in the house??? That would be dangerous!!!

Why, I would never, ever...

You guys are nuts!

[50 Freak]

Standard ball in the drum for the AR,
Standard ball in the drum for the MAK90,
Standard ball in the mags for the FAL,

Golddots in the Glock 27,
Silvertips in the G20,
Goldots in the 1911,

Everything in the Safe. except the G27 which is always on my side (hip or bed).

When at my home, currently using a 1991A1 Colt loaded with 230gr hydra shok, 2 spare mags also. Also have handy a Taurus 85ch with 158gr LSWHP+P or 110gr standard pressure Win silvertips if I expect my sister will want to use it. Also have a 950bs 25acp Beretta with ball but I usually don't load that one.

Sometimes I'll keep around a 20gauge Mossberg loaded with Win AA trap loads for the first couple to fire and the rest #3 buck or a 12 gauge with the same Win trap loads and #1 Buck to finish.

Sometimes will keep a Taurus 82 or S&W 14 6" with the lead hollowpoints instead of the Government model. Been known to use a Makarov also with 95 grain Barnual hollowpoints or Fiocchi hollowpoints.

Really don't usually feel the need for a defensive rifle but in the extreme unlikelyhood of a repeat of the N. Hollywood bank shootout(I do live next to a couple of banks) if the bad guys decided to try to take cover in my home a SKS, Mosin Nagant, Mauser or M1 carbine variant with ball ammo may be pressed into service.

I sometimes stay at my dads home on weekends and when doing so use a Ruger P95dc loaded with 115gr 9mm +P Remington JHP's.
