What type of ammunition is recommended for self-defense in a carry conceal weapon?

  1. Full metal jacket (FMJ)

  2. Jacketed hollow point (JHP)

  3. Lead round nose (LRN)

  4. Birdshot

The correct answer is: Jacketed hollow point (JHP)

Jacketed hollow point ammunition is recommended for self-defense in a carry conceal weapon because it is designed to expand upon impact, creating a larger wound channel and increasing the stopping power. By contrast, full metal jacket ammunition is designed for target shooting and may over-penetrate, posing a risk to bystanders. Lead round nose ammunition can also over-penetrate and is not as effective in stopping a threat. Birdshot is not recommended for self-defense as it lacks adequate penetration and stopping power.
