Choosing the right ammunition for self-defense is crucial — especially for female shooters seeking balance between manageable recoil and effective stopping power. At LA Guns and Range, we help you find the best fit for your needs.
1. 9mm Hollow Points
Popular for its manageable recoil and strong terminal performance, 9mm hollow points like Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot are excellent choices for concealed carry and home defense.
2. .380 ACP
For smaller framed shooters, .380 ACP offers lower recoil while still delivering sufficient stopping power. Modern defensive rounds have made .380 a viable self-defense caliber.
3. .38 Special
In revolvers, .38 Special remains a great option due to its light recoil and reliability. Choose a good hollow point designed for defensive use.
Confidence Through Training
Choosing the right ammo is just one step — practice is key. At LA Guns and Range, we offer women’s shooting classes to build comfort and skill with your chosen setup.
