Man, I am starting to think you are playing us :P with that pee comment - you have some strange information there, dude....

As for ammo - as said before - I carry 9mm. So, I use Federal Hydrashok. Gold dot is another good brand. To be honest - any name brand personal defense hollow point will be fine.

i want my gun to be at top performance ANY and EVERY time i need it to be, at the range or on the street so i want to pamper it as much as possible and i know some shots are "harmful" to the guns, like recharged ones...so i just want to know this...


by the way supposedly if you pee in your barrel the urine dissolves most impurities/powder traces in it but might deform it, am i full of it or not?

I carry a Compact .40 and I USUALLY use either 155 or 165 grain Speer Gold Dots. At the moment, however, I am using Federal HSE in 180gr because I got an AWESOME deal on it. I have heard that Hornady TAP(I use TAP in .45 in my 1911's) is a good choice as well. I believe as Shipwreck has stated that any named brand HP will work fine. I'm not sure of your comment about the maintence and cost of a .40. The cost of ammo is only SLIGHTLY more than 9mm and cheaper than .45 and .357. As far as maintence goes.... HK's need little maintance... Just clean and lube well and it will last a long time. HK's ROCK!

This isn't a "T" alert is it?
