So I want to keep my AR pistol with 10 1/2" barrel for self/home defense. Any recommendation of what ammo to use? I don't think FMJ.ball ammo like M193 or M855 would be idea as penetration would be excessive and I don't expect yawl or break up with M193 ammo from slower velocity. Maybe 45-50gr JHP varmint ammo is the way to go?
What is your recommendation and why?

I carry gold dots in my EDC, they're in use by a lot of law enforcement, etc. Pretty much the go to man stopper.

Hornady Critical Defense is what I have loaded. I figure expansion is the best way to slow down a bullet. Personally I choose the shotgun in the house.

Rug, google Nosler Defense 64gr Bonded...I have a case of it if you need some.

I've found no reason to not use Mk262 or its clones in any defensive role.

Barnes Vor-TX 120 Grain 300 Blackout

You will not find a superior round

Don't use an AR pistol for home defense. Firing one in close quarters without hearing protection will make it clear why.

Yeah, ask my buddy about that.

He said the sound wave and the immediate pressure change almost knocked him unconscious and he was pretty much useless for 15-20 seconds after that.

I can’t think name of it right now but some muzzle breaks throw the concussion forward

Flaming pigs do that fine,

But why not shoot 300BO suppressed, problem solved, especi6if you are shooting an AR pistol with an 8 inch barrel.
