Hi all, I am the proud new owner of a springfield xd45 acp and love it. I just thought I would send a shout out to you all and say hey. Can anyone tell me what they think the best 45 acp hollowpoint self defense ammo load would be? And what brand

Welcome to the forum, glad you're here! New guy buys cigars.

There is a lot of great hollow point ammo for sale, but what works for me in my guns may not work for you. Buy boxes of several different brands and shoot them through YOUR gun using your magazines and see which brand will feed consistantly. When you find a brand/type of ammo that works buy a couple of boxes and try it in all the magazines for that gun.

Another Texan! Yeah!
As for hollow points, I don't know. All I shoot is 230gr ball.
