Residents who travel out of state or want reciprocity recognition in other jurisdictions can obtain an optional Texas License to Carry through the Texas Department of Public Safety. Hollow point and defensive ammunition are legal to purchase and possess in Texas for eligible residents.

Modern hollow point ammunition from quality manufacturers is widely considered the best choice for concealed carry use, as it expands on impact to deliver more energy to the target while reducing the risk of over-penetration. The best choice depends on your specific handgun model, barrel length, and your ability to control the firearm accurately under stress. Testing your chosen defensive load at the range to confirm reliable feeding before trusting it for carry is always recommended. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you find a load that performs well in your specific pistol.
Full metal jacket ammunition features a lead core encased in a harder metal jacket that prevents expansion on impact, making it the standard choice for range training and target shooting due to its lower cost and reliable feeding. Hollow point ammunition has a cavity in the nose designed to cause the bullet to expand on impact, increasing its diameter to transfer more energy to the target while reducing the risk of over-penetration. Hollow points are the standard recommendation for defensive carry and home defense use.
For home defense, quality hollow point ammunition in a caliber your handgun reliably feeds and that you can accurately control is the standard recommendation. The most important factor is that the ammunition feeds reliably in your specific handgun, so testing your chosen defensive load at the range before trusting it for home defense is always recommended. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you select a load suited to your handgun platform and home defense needs.
AR pistols require ammunition matched to their specific chamber and caliber. Always verify your AR pistol’s exact chambering before purchasing ammunition, as AR-platform pistols are available in a variety of calibers and using the wrong cartridge can damage your firearm and create a safety hazard. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you identify the correct ammunition for your specific AR pistol configuration.
A practical starting point is to keep a supply of your primary training or range load on hand alongside a dedicated quantity of your chosen defensive hollow point ammunition. For carry guns, regularly rotating your carry ammunition and replacing it with fresh rounds is good practice, as ammunition carried for extended periods can experience degradation from body heat and humidity, particularly in Central Texas’s warm climate. The staff at Armored Boar Gunworks can help you find the right quantities and loads to keep your handguns properly stocked.
