Carry ammo for the .45 is Winchester Ranger RA45T and RA45B (230 grain and 230 grain Bonded). Why? Read up on it, saw that it was a very highly regarded round by a lot of people who would know and when I bought it the price wasn't insane yet. I've got some Hydra-shok's, HST, and Hornady TAP laying around as well. I wouldn't want to get hit with any of them, but some discussion had come about that the Hydra-Shok was older technology and, while still good, there are better premium hollow-points on the market right now.

.45 Range ammo: Whatever 230 FMJ I can get cheapest. WWB and Blazer Brass most often. Yet to have any problems with either ammo in any of the .45's

9mm Range Ammo: Same as the .45 with the addition of some bunny fart reloads. Only time I've ever had problems with the reloads was when a .380 snuck into the cartridge feeder. Don't have any carry ammo in 9mm since my only 9mm is for shooting at cardboard silhouettes.
