Re: New to handguns, which ammo should I use?

I've never witnessed what the full metal jacket .45 does after penetration, will it fragment or should I invest in some defense loads? Will hollow tip reduce its effectiveness?
I would highly recommend HP ammo for self defense use for the pass through issue. I highly recommend Corbon. I've seen Corbon in .40 S&W liquify the insides of a deer before, and I'm convinced it provides everything we need in personal defense ammo.
