Best 9mm Carry Ammo Recommendations

[EDC_Minded]

I'm new to carrying, and I've heard a lot about different types of 9mm ammo. What do you all recommend for self-defense? Any brands that have proven reliable for you?

For Alaska I recommend Hornady Critical Duty. We tend to wear layers which can plug a regular hollow point and turn it effectively into a round nose. The Critical Duty doesn't have that problem. Critical Defence is something I use for the short, 3", barrel guns. The lighter weight gives a faster muzzle velocity in a short barrel.
