.45 long Colt ammo suggestion?

[codycr6]

I have a concealed carry license, and when I cannot hide my 9mm auto, I often carry a small FMJ derringer that will fire .410/.45 long Colt ammo. I carry it with me in the woods sometimes loaded with .410, and the rest of the time I usually have basic 240 grain hollow points in it. What I need is a .45 caliber with a fast burning powder, as the barrel is extremely short on it. Any insight on ammo designed to work on shorter barrel guns?

Also, for my 9mm, I am considering trying some Glaser Safety Slugs for when I am at home. Any other recommendations for home defense ammo? I believe my next purchase will be a home defense shotgun... seems to be the most firepower without worry of over-penetration.

Damn dude, 45 colt in a Derringer is a real handfull. I wouldn't be overly concerned with using a load with a faster burning powder than what is typically used in this caliber (that short of a barrel, there really wouldn't be much difference anyway). While muzzle flash would be a little more, a benefit is that it would have less felt recoil with a "standard" burn rate powder.

There are some situations where this ammo may be ineffective though, especially in a 9mm cal. I personally prefer good premium grade hollowpoint ammo for home defense, and just be very aware of your backdrop (and beyond), as you should be anyway.
