I use HST in my Glock 21 and 30, but Speer LE in my .357 LCR
Through careful attention to
design, Federal Premium’s engineers were able to create self-defense
loads that exhibit specific characteristics sought by the two prominent
streams of thought concerning personal protection. The distinctly
different loads, HST and Guard Dog, will meet the needs of even the most
demanding self-defense practitioner.

Currently, there are two divergent beliefs concerning defensive
handgun ammunition; some armed citizens desire ammunition capable of
satisfactorily completing the entire battery of barrier tests prescribed
by the “FBI protocol,” whereas others want a reduced-penetration option
to minimize the risk of collateral damage. Whichever is the most
applicable to you, the personal-protection practitioner, depends upon
your target-engagement philosophy and the circumstances in which you
forecast the threat would most likely occur. Some considerations are:
your definition of “self-defense,” and the actions you’re willing to
take to neutralize a threat; potential barriers (both inside and outside
the home, and behind which an assailant could take cover); location and
proximity of family members, neighbors or bystanders; backstops (or
lack thereof); and temperature/season (thin or thick garments). It’s
only after carefully considering each of the aforementioned categories
that you can subscribe to a specific philosophy and make an informed
decision regarding the corresponding ammunition. A change in any of the
categories could also dictate exchanging your defensive load. Why?
