No, they just don't offer near enough penetration to be considered for serious situations.
There was no option for both
JHP, I would be concerned about overpenetration of FMJ in a home/self defense situation. And if I need to shoot through a barrier in self defense, I should also have time to remove myself from the situation. The object is survival first, incapacitation if required.
The Kel-Tec 32 has a problem with a lot of JHP loads. They are too short for the mag. & can rim lock.
This is where the rim of the upper round can get behind the lower one. This is a bad thing & could get you killed.
I think FMJ is best in this gun.

There are lots of people who carry fmj ammo in their self defense handguns for a variety of reasons.
