FMJ vs JHP

[mattwestm]

I always carry the HP's in my P64. I do carry 3 extra mags. The first two have more HP's and the last one has FMJ. The problem w/ FMJ is the ricochet issue. Should you miss your targed, the FMJ is more likely to ricochet and in a situation with innocent bystanders, could present a problem. The HP's tend to flatten out when hitting solid objects other than bones. For that reason I carry the HP's. As for feeding, I"ve fired over 100 HP's in my P-64 and never had a FTF of FTE.

Do you just keep the extra magazines in your pocket? I'm always curious how other people carry extra mags. I've never carried any extra ones.

I use a nylon double mag pouch. You can easily stack two magazines in each compartment. I wouldn't recommend carrying magazines in your pocket for fear of getting something caught in them such as keys, change etc. Not to mention the "pocket debris" that could cause a magazine malfunction.
