If I am hunting (game not people) I use wide metplat, hard cast bullets only. If I use the handgun for personal defense (humans).... I use JHP’s. That said, if the assailant were a 300+ pound individual wearing heavy denim clothing and a nice thick leather vest....the wide metplat, hard cast bullet would be quite desirable! Just not a round nose bullet! memtb

Some soft and some hard, Ballistic gelatin to the dirt of the butts, A solid may not expand, but it sure penetrates a lot better. Check to see what big game hunters in Africa use on true dangerous game.
