For self defence you want the energy to be observed rapidly. First to prevent bystanders being hit when bullet exits but also for most stopping power. The “pedals” arnt meant to cause bigger wound as much as they are meant to be like a “parachute” and put as much force into the target as rapidly as possible to cause shock to vital organs and stop the threat.

I am glad that you mentioned tested a lot of hollow point ammo. Some of the newer gun carriers might not understand or know the fact that it does not matter what test, group, company, person says that this brand is the best, if their gun itself shows them that it will not work properly every time with that round. You have to find the round that is best for you and that your weapon also likes the best. Plus there are way too many people that go out buy the guns, might go shoot once or twice then jut start carrying and never shoot for practice with it again, then wonder why they cannot hit anything with it. They do not also understand that in a self-defense shooting that they will not have time to sit there pull out their weapon, take that time to get the prefect aim on a target that is going to stay prefect still at the prefect distance for them to take that 1 prefect shoot.

For semiautos, reliability is going to be your #1 consideration. Doesn't matter how much damage your round can do if it gets stuck feeding. #2 is probably accuracy - doesn't matter how much damage your round can do if it misses. Terminal performance is going to be your #3 consideration, unless you plan on only shooting at point blank range. But we all know now that if you're trying to stop a mass shooter, you likely need your rounds to feed reliably and hit the target repeatedly at 30-40 yards. Forget about funky bullet designs and go with proven ammo.

Its a measure of pressure so energy as in fpe/joules will be your best indicator.

They are. Although Federal's Syntech Defense round definitely improves on the concept. The main slug penetrates well, you get three break off petals which create larger wound channels and penetrate deeper, and the rounds are very cost effective. They have been running reliably in my M&P 2.0 for years now. I know that a lot of people don't take frangible ammo seriously. But Syntech Defense is definitely worth trying. It makes reasonably impressive wounds.

GunWillTravel correctly points out the importance of reliability. Nothing else matters if a bullet doesn’t leave the muzzle when you pull the trigger. Accuracy also is important which brings me to another consideration: if you load and unload one cartridge several times, does the bullet get scratched up, deformed, or pushed into the case? For example, I have a very nice 1911 that chews up Speer Gold Dot 230 grain projectiles. Not good! Same ammo can be loaded repeatedly without any scratches in a different 45 ACP pistol. Note that the same 1911 feeds 230 grain round nose Ammo perfectly, so it’s just the Speer Gold Dot that the 1911 doesn’t like. Some people load and unload their EDC every day, and this is very important for them.

John Moses Browning said the best results in the 1911/1911a1 series .45acp come with 230gr bullets. Not 185gr or 200gr.

For self-defense, I carry a LCP 22 loaded with Federal Punch, and it's all I'll ever need: light, compact, reliable, will stop anyone in their tracks. I don't need, or want, to kill some messed-up kid who wants my watch. I don't want the legal hassle, and I don't want to kill anyone if I don't absolutely need to.

Taking a life is never an easy thing to do, I've had to unfortunately/fortunately take the lives of 3 different people in my life & honestly I'm surprised I'm not more screwed up. A complete stranger showed up at a party that I was at in Tennessee back in the early 2010s & started firing a bolt action rifle, I wasn't the only person attending the party that was armed so I probably wasn't the only defensive shooter. 2nd time was an ex-girlfriend we got into an argument on Valentine's Day because she accused me of stealing a bottle of booze out of the backseat of her car (which was never there, she was on meth or heroin or something and I hadn't realized it) anyway, I attempt to leave her in the parking lot while I go back to my apartment (you know to give her time to cool down) and as I'm walking away she puts her hand on my shoulder, in that moment I feel like I'm about ready to be stabbed in that her footing her hand on my shoulder was her stabilizing herself with her off hand, I wasn't carrying a firearm at the time because my state hadn't yet adopted constitutional carry. Anyway, my intention was to swing around with my fist and hit her in the jaw but I missed the mark and ended up hitting her in the neck, which severed her carotid artery, she was dead before she hit the ground & the knife was found by EMS in her dominant hand. 3rd & hopefully final time, I was fleeing Grand Rapids Michigan after staying with a friend of mine during a homelessness stent (she actually ended up attempting to kill me & when that didn't work she sent a couple friends of hers to try to have me "arrested" on a fictitious bench warrant. The thing is I'd never been to Michigan up until that point. Anyway, nothing ever came of the situation because I haven't yet pressed attempted murder charges yet but now that I'm no longer homeless I can start focusing on those things. Anyway, while on the way back home I got stuck in Detroit & ended up missing my bus I bought another ticket which had a 6 hour wait and after a while I got antsy and decided to step out back where apparently there were no security cameras anyway a black guy walks up to me and starts talking to me & after a few minutes asked me for the time so I give it to him and I nonchalantly ask him if he knows of anywhere I could get cannabis this time of night, probably not the best idea because I ended up pulling 40 bucks out of the ATM machine & eventually end up in the Trumbull Crossing high rise, the victim of a kidnapping. Eventually when they realize that I had very little money on me and that I was homeless they let me go whoever it was that was leading the group eventually changed their mind and used my unfamiliarity with the city against me and eventually was able to track me down, the guy he sent was going to curb stomp me to death but at the last second change just mind & I guess went back to his car for some sort of a weapon & when he turned his back I got up and bit him in the neck, killing him. The cops that responded have done nothing about the situation since it happened so again now that I'm no longer homeless I'm going to be contacting the FBI here soon and see about getting the folks that kidnapped me arrested & prosecuted.

147 grain 9mm ammo has the same ballistics as a .38 special. So now you have a 15 round .38 special. If you use 124 grain +P 9mm loaded to 1,200 feet per second or more, then yiu have close to a .357 magnum performance. Wouldn't you rather have a 15 round .357 magnum as opposed to a 15 round. 38 special?

Big fan of the Hornady ZMax 115 JHP and NO, they aren't same as the Critical Defense 115 JHP. Both use a completely different powder and in my 4 CZ pistols, the ZMax simply perform amazingly, both in accuracy and performance. Too bad Hornady no longer makes them.

The issue with RIP rounds is one there not that consistent with performance or accuracy the other issue is if ever use them for self defense it's hard to explain to a prosecutor because of the tombstones on the box and RIP gimmick along with there slongen on the box it all adds to them using it against you in court a better option is something like liberty defense 60gr 2,000 fps 40s&w or nov-x 1,725fps 88gr or if want heavier double tap 125GR 40s&w is really nice at 1,501fps

Lehigh ain't got nothing on those "interceptor" rounds made by some dude in garage... just saying Best part is, the likelihood of overpen with them is low, but provides enough punch to get in the target nice and deep. PS: mister video man, penetration is not what you want with self defense rounds, most of these look like they got to much punch and not enough stop.

Unless someone links me a court case this whole thing sounds like a hypothetical situation that someone thought could happen bit never actually did. The part that's really stupid are all the people who say that using the same ammunition as the police would look better in court but they seem to forgot that police shoot people for a living, they are using the most effective anti personal ammunition available. You can't just associate police = good, positive

With an overzealous prosecutor you can never have the "right" round. Rittenhouse trial, they pointed out he used fmj which " could have endangered others", the Kim potter trial it was scary hollow points, "designed to kill". No matter what you use, they'll use it against you.
