EDC Ammo

USMC1911 said:
What’s your favorite EDC ammunition? I carry Hornady Critical Duty and/or Critical Defense. I travel into NJ a lot and was told they allow this type of ammunition. NJ has issues with Hollow Points. I purchase them in .380, 9mm and .45. The 9mm I have in 125 and 135 grain + P.

If you are carrying under LEOSA the 2010 LEOSA revision allows you to carry hollow points if they are legal in your jurisdiction.

I personally like Critical Duty but your legal if LEOSA covers you.

I’ve heard similar things about NJ’s laws regarding hollow points, so it’s good to stick with what’s allowed. I carry 9mm myself, but I like the 124 grain for a balance of power and control.

From the NJSP website regarding hollow point ammo.
“Ammunition lacking a hollow cavity at the tip, such as those with a polymer filling, are not considered to be hollow point ammunition. An example of this can be seen with the Hornady Critical Defense / Critical Duty, Cor-Bon PowRball / Glaser Safety Slug and Nosler Inc. Defense ammunition.”
I stick with Critical Defense since it is “named” to not be considered hollow point.

Are There Any Ammunition Restrictions?​

LEOSA carriers must only use ammunition not expressly prohibited by federal law or subject to the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934. Qualified LEOs and RLEOs are exempt from the prohibitions against carrying hollow-point ammunition that is in force in New Jersey and other locations. However, the NJ Atty Genl letter on 10/12/18 states,

4. Can retirees carry hollow-point bullets, and does LEOSA provide any additional authority outside of New Jersey law to carry hollow-point bullets?
No, New Jersey RLEOs cannot carry hollow-point bullets. N.J.S.A. 2C:39-3(f) states that, with very few narrow exceptions (none of which apply to an RLEO), only active law enforcement officers are authorized to carry hollow-point bullets. LEOSA does not provide any additional authority for an RLEO residing in New Jersey to carry hollow-point bullets because it is impermissible under state law.

5. Generally, what ammunition is acceptable?
RLEOs can generally use any type of commercially available ammunition, so long as it is not hollow-point. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:39-17 (effective June 13, 2018), an RLEO may possess and carry a large capacity ammunition magazine which is capable of holding up to 15 rounds of ammunition that can be fed continuously and directly into a semiautomatic handgun. However, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:39-20 (effective August 12, 2018), any RLEO who carries a large capacity magazine capable of holding up to 15 rounds must separately register the firearm with the New Jersey State Police.


I was told this at a LEOSA class given by the NRA at their Convention. I think it’s different for retired as opposed to Active Law Enforcement. I always try to air on the safe side. I travel with my firearm a lot and really only worry about New Jersey.
