Which type of ammunition is recommended for self-defense purposes in a concealed carry pistol?

  1. Full metal jacket (FMJ)

  2. Jacketed hollow point (JHP)

  3. Lead round nose (LRN)

  4. Birdshot

The correct answer is: Jacketed hollow point (JHP)

Jacketed hollow point (JHP) is the recommended type of ammunition for self-defense purposes in a concealed carry pistol. This type of ammunition is designed specifically for self-defense and is more effective at stopping a threat than the other options. Full metal jacket (FMJ) and lead round nose (LRN) are both jacketed ammunition, but they are not designed for self-defense and do not have the same stopping power as JHP. Birdshot is not recommended for self-defense as it is designed for hunting small game and does not have the same penetration or stopping power as JHP ammunition.
