What is the most important factor in choosing the correct ammunition for your firearm?

  1. Price

  2. Brand

  3. The recommendation of the salesperson

  4. The specifications of your firearm

The correct answer is: The specifications of your firearm

When choosing the correct ammunition for your firearm, the most critical factor is ensuring that it matches the specifications of your firearm. Using ammunition that is not compatible with your firearm can not only affect its performance but also pose serious safety hazards. Therefore, it's essential to always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for your firearm to select the appropriate ammunition. Price, brand, or the salesperson's recommendation are secondary factors compared to the compatibility and safety aspect determined by the specifications of your firearm.
