I'd carry hardball if I was worried about feed reliability in my autopistols, but it's never been an issue. My chosen off-duty gun is a 1911 about 90% of the time, and it's loaded with hollowpoints because overpenetration IS a concern in urban environments. My preferred loads are the Gold Dots, Silvertips, or even the hard-to-find Remington 230 JHP. For a WalMart special, this stuff works pretty well, and I've never seen an auto that didn't feed it well.
