Which is more important to prioritize in your ammunition selection: range ammo or defense ammo?
When it comes to purchasing ammunition for your firearms, there are a variety of options to choose from. Range ammo is typically used for target practice and general training purposes, while defense ammo is specifically designed for self-defense situations.
Some shooters believe that it is essential to prioritize defense ammo, as it is specifically engineered to have greater stopping power and penetration compared to range ammo. However, others argue that practicing with range ammo is just as important in order to improve accuracy and proficiency with your firearm.
What are your thoughts on this topic? Do you prioritize defense ammo over range ammo, or do you believe they are equally important in your ammunition selection? Share your opinions and experiences below.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the whole debate about range ammo vs defense ammo is overrated? Cant we all just agree that training with whatever you have is better than nothing?

Defense ammo is overrated! I mean, why spend extra on fancy bullets when range ammo does the job just fine? Save your money and put it towards more range time instead. Whos with me?

Defense ammo may be pricier, but its worth the investment for reliable performance when it counts. Prioritizing quality over quantity could save your life.

Seems like were all debating ammo types now. Can we agree that the real difference is how well you can shoot under pressure? Skill beats ammo any day.

Defense ammo is overrated. Why waste money on expensive rounds when a well-placed shot with range ammo can do the job? Plus, who has time to switch between ammo types in a crisis?

Defense ammo is designed for a reason - to stop threats effectively. Saving a few bucks on range ammo could cost you more in a life-or-death situation. Prioritize your safety over saving a few dollars.

Defense ammo is just a marketing gimmick to make you spend more money. Range ammo does the job just fine. Save your cash for something worthwhile!

Can we really trust that defense ammo will perform as expected in a high-pressure situation? Maybe range ammo is more reliable. Who knows what will really happen when it counts?

Defense ammo is specifically designed for high-pressure situations, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most. Range ammo may not provide the same level of consistency and stopping power. Stick with whats proven to protect you.
