Figure out what your gun likes and stick with it.

Take the gun to the range and try out several different brands of ammo. Buy what feeds consistantly thru your 1911.

It's been said, but I will say it again...

 

You gotta make sure it works. Use what works best. It doesn't matter if you think you have the world's best personal defense ammo out there. If the gun won't eat it, then you have a useless piece of metal. When in doubt, use ball. 1911's can vary between themselves drastically. I've had consecutively serialed guns that wouldn't eat the same ammo. It all just depends on what works, then YOU adapt to that.

Federal Hydra-Shok, .45ACP 185gr +P. I've also got some of the 230gr flavor, but I prefer the +P.

 

For anti-zombie duty, I've found that RUAG GP-11 is the shiznit.

Coming from the guy who said to use Birdshot as Home Defense ammo. I guess you changed your mind already.
