For all intents and purposes, CorBon magic bullets simply does not exist for me. I just can not afford $1 plus per shot, nor would I be comfortable shooting a couple and then relying on it for carry.
I use Winchester personal protection old school 230gn JHP in both my Glock 30 and Norinco 1911. It feeds perfectly in both, and is accurate.
I would not feel underarmed with a decent 230gn FMJ, though.
Frankly, I am astounded at the prices for some SD ammo. I don't believe the price has anything to do with the cost of r&d or production...just what the market will bear.
