[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 725880, member: 5168"] Unlike most other calibers the .45ACP for self defense works with just about any bullet design as long as the firearm used will function with it. There are new designs out there that are supposed to expand. I look at it this way, it has to function in my gun of choice, it has to be accurate in the same, after that penetration is the most important, if it expands great, if not no big deal its still a .45 caliber. I know what each of my .45ACP firearms will do, and have no issues carrying FMJ, HP, or SWC. Remember the .45ACP is a subsonic round, and when a cartridge such as this has a HP designed to function at such low velocity it will act just like a parachute and start to slow down faster than a solid round, and depending on what it encounters upon entry may be slowed to where is doesn't penetrate far enough to do damage to the vital organs.
