Wow, that's quick - congratulations. If you haven't spent the last 26 days reading up on hollow points, brace yourself. There are dozens of different options out there.

Enjoy your newly rented permission to exercise a fundamental right... ;)

I've been a gun collector and shooter for over 17 years. Just never went to get my CHL till now. I tend to purchase and trust Federal Hydra Shocks. But everyone has their favorites.

Ah, I misunderstood. I carried Hydra Shocks 15 years ago w. my first CHL. Apparently technology marches on, and Federal HSTs are an evolutionary development from the Hydra Shocks. Started carrying the HSTs last year when I re-upped for a permission slip.
