As is it is a pretty good defense round.
I have shot the WW Silver Tip & it's comfortable to shoot.
Frank,
The problem with that idea is that in 1965, there were no jacketed hollow point bullets that would expand reliably when driven to only 1000 FPS. Hard cast had not hit the commercial industry yet and the swagged bullets that the commercial ammunition companies were using at the time would severely lead the barrels going that fast.
