Hmm, guess you don't know too many schools then do you? I know at least two that would.
Yes, I sure do. Been to Gunsite 2 times as well as attended other professional training over the years. I also was a sponsored IPSC Shooters for many years.
I can't believe with all the information we have these days that this topic would ever need to be discussed??? .....but here we are.
NO tactical training schools recommend to police or civilian the use of FMJ over a modern hollow point in the 9mm or 40s&w.
Tell me the names of the two schools you know about that recomend FMJ with the 9mm and 40S&W for personal defense ammo??????????
. I'll save you the time, there isn't any.
If you think the military is purposely choosing to use FMJ for any other reason than "The Hague Convention", your sadly misinformed. There is no way the military uses the FMJ (especially in a 9mm) for any tactical superiority over a modern hollow point. That's not my opinion or even debatable. Any research will show this and has been discussed at length. Ironic, isn't it, that exposed lead and
hollow point bullets are banned from combat because they are more likely to cause horrible wounds and death?? Isn't that what you want as a civilian???? The best and most lethal bullet to end a confrontation???
Since there isnt any artificial political restrictions hindering police, SWAT or any tactcal team, they never choose to use a fmj and always use the best hollow points because they want to end the threat as quickly as possible.
Not only doesnt any law enforcement use the FMJ but
all wildlife fish and game outlaw the use of FMJ to hunt with because of the danger and ineffectiveness compared to any hollow point design.
Last but not least, ....lets not discount the ammo manufactures design and intended purpose directly from the manufacture itself.
On all FMJ boxes or ammo manufactures web site, it list the FMJ for "range use" or "practice only" printed on the box or at the web site. Some even go the extra distance to warn you that this not designed for "personal protection".
(Disclaimer:
Sure, if you are in a life and death situation and all you have is FMJ, then you are going to use them but only in that rare and unique situation because that's your ONLY choice.)
You can drive with your feet but that doesn't mean its a good idea. (and yet some knuckle heads do this too. Perhaps to go against conventional knowledge and common sense).
Here is one of many many videos why NOT to use FMJ.

To recomend using FMJ over a modern hollow point for self defense is irresponsible when you have the option for a much better bullet.
