In a northern city like say Chicago, I would go to 158 JSPs in the winter time.

Much better penetration than the 125-140 JHPs but a little more expansion than the FMJs

All of that being said, the odds of a civilian getting into a firefight is probably a longer shot than winning the PowerBall while being struck by lightning and we are all just overthinking our scenarios

No matter what you finally end up carrying remember to practice, Practice, PRACTICE
