In Massad Ayoob's account, the projectiles were jacketed hollow points.

The cure for bullet creep in the little revolvers seems to have more to do with bullet weight than whether they're jacketed or not. In my experience and in the accounts I've read, the 125 - 135 grain loads (which are almost all JHP's) seem to work just fine. The creep issue shows up with the heavier bullets, which makes sense in view of the physics involved.

The lighter rounds are more controllable on the recoil side as well.

True. However, in Greybeard's account, the projectiles were full metal jackets.

My 1911 will never experience bullet jump and cylinder lockup.
