I figured I'd be in the minority with my comments. I've seen too many people shot with hollow points that just don't penetrate. Even the excellent Gold Dot often fails to penetrate at the velocity to which Speer loads it.
I'm not opposed to the better hollow points like the Gold Dot, but nobody is producing any velocity figures here. I can shoot the 124 gr. Gold Dot to 1158 FPS and the 147 gr. Gold Dot to 1080 FPS out of my 940 but I have no idea what the factory load will do. I bet it's quite a bit less out of the 2" barrel.
