I think that test was flawed on several levels.
I've shot many living things with all kinds of bullets...and I've NEVER seen bone, even when just under the skin, clog a hollow point like that--real, living bone simply doesn't act like that. It shatters--not get cut out in neat little circles--and it also deforms the bullet.
In short, I think the tester had an agenda, and set up the tests to prove it.
That being said--I think the classic LSWC-HP (FBI Load) would be my choice--I know it is in my early 70's 36-1...and I also wouldn't be afraid to use it in my 1921-ish M&P.
It wouldn't be my range load; I'd maybe shoot a cylinder or two just to make sure I thought it was controllable...but 10 or so rounds will not hurt the pistol.

Reason: typos galore!
