If you get a psychological stop, yup. I've seen a guy who had all the fight taken out of him by a .25 to the bladder. However if they decide to stay in the fight, handgun rounds aren't even remotely reliable at mechanically disabling the pelvis.
Everyone I trust who knows about these things agrees with this opinion.
11 rounds of .22 to the face works every time.

Okay. Let me sum up 6 years of this topic on INGO. The best thing to do is carry factory self defense ammo, and practice with less expensive ammo. Which could be reloads. If you choose to use reloads for self defense, you could possibly...but probably not in Indiana face legal issues. But it could happen. You have been forewarned.
Can't argue with that.
This is INGO. Of course we can.

I resemble that example. I choose factory SD ammo because:Don't competitive shooters reload their own for accuracy, consistency, and reliability? I would say it would go the same and if you are an experienced reloader, you would want to load your own.

Actually, I've found that variations in velocity don't directly correlate with accuracy. Some loads that have a high SD actually group very well. The only way to determine accuracy of a load is to shoot it from a rest or preferably a machine rest, if one has access. Most any decent load should group well at 25 yards or less, if the gun is capable.I've chrono'd Speer through my P226 and a 5 shot group had a low of 1030 fps and a high of 1046 fps. My *very* best hand loads for .38 target ammo have about an 8 fps difference between min and max. I'm not a good enough shooter nor shooting at long enough distances to make a 7 fps swing matter in the slightest.
It also depends on what sport you're talking about. A lot of the reloading is done to meet a certain "power factor" without going much over. More "power" equates to more recoil, so if you can load your ammunition to be juuuust over the minimum PF in your particular gun, than you should have a slight advantage in follow up shot speed. Quality factory ammo (including good training ammo like Speer Lawman) is already extremely accurate, consistent, and reliable.
