IMHO the WC no better than any solid with more negatives due to difficulty in speed loading due to their profile. The WC is specifically designed for low recoil target shooting to cut a clean easy to score paper punch hole in paper targets. Not that they won't kill or injure but if they where a better choice than HP ammo or even LRN or SWC's they would have been sold for SD ammo and been official ammo issued by thousands of police departments when they used revolvers. Personally I'd rather use a LRN or SWC that reloads quicker for carry than a WC bullet if they where the only choices available (otherwise a good HP).

The flat nose stirs peoples imagination but imagined results does not equal factual actual results. Tests on Youtube pretty much show an over penetrating solid that produces a wound track as other solids and non expanding JHP's. When someone has collected results from some defensive shootings showing equal near same results as readily available JHP's I may change my mind.
