Factory fmj for break-in.
I like to load 200g lswc for plinking/target shooting.
Try several different defense loads to see what your pistol likes and is reliable with.
For defense, pick your poison. I'm partial to Hornady Critical Duty if you need barrier (heavy denim, etc.) penetration in .45CAL, I run Speer Gold Dots in my .357SIG, but Federal HST or Ranger SXT seem to be a great choice for PD rounds and popular. The Hornady CD gets slammed for lack of expansion, so it's something you'll have to consider.

I'll have to check my load data, I think I've been using 4.3gr W231 and 4.4gr Titegroup with 230gr berry's plated RN, but I may have loaded some powder puff loads lower than that. Have to check the stickers on the boxes against the spreadsheet I'm looking at.
been awhile since I had to do the ISD classes, has been gold for me since retiring.....thanks AF
