I have never used it.

The theory of it sounds good, Cor- Bond makes good ammo but it's sort of a "nitch" market, kinda like the Hornady Critical defense ammo where the hollow point is plugged with something soft so as to not clog up with clothing and then stop the bullet from expanding. Seems more of a Ammo question, might try asking in that section.

Here is a review on the 45 ACP:

It may not shoot POA with combat sights because of the light bullet. The ball is a harder material, which in other calibers helps it feed. 9mm bullets usually feed fine without help.

It's more than just a niche cartridge for folks in my state. Since HP's are illegal, Pow-R-Ball is one of only 3 high performance defensive rounds that can be used here.
Pretty impressive writeup.
