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.
Critical Defense Ammunition is:
Unaffected by thick and heavy clothing, including denim and leather
Loaded with bullets that deliver superior controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities
Loaded with clean burning and efficient propellants that reduce recoil in lightweight handguns, and perform consistently at all temperatures
Exhibits minimal muzzle flash protect night vision
Feeds reliably
Silver nickel plating prevents corrosion and is easily visible in low light situations
Bullets are custom designed for individual loads
Effective, consistent, reliable self-defense ammunition
This ammunition was designed by Hornady to expand every single time. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases
