I, like any rational person, would not want to be shot by a wadcutter or any other type of bullet. That being said, I am amazed that people will go through the time and expense of getting a handgun for SD and then put the cheapest ammo they can find in it. I agree that $25-30 is expensive for a box of ammo, but it is not what you are going to use all of the time for practice, etc. Skip a meal out or a few trips to Starbucks and save up to buy 2 boxes. One to familiarize yourself with it and make sure it will function in the gun and one for carry. Every 6 months to a year repeat so you can stay proficient. I'm not rich by any means but my safety (I really like me), and the safety of my family (I like them too), is worth it.
