I for one shoot nothing but ball ammo, my theory is that I would rather have something bleeding from two holes instead of one. just my opinion.
To me this is my biggest reason for jhp ammo. I have no desire to shoot a rd, have it go through the bad guy, through a wall and keep on going possibly into someone/something else. Or even worse to miss the bad guy and go through a couple of walls and onto who knows where.It's better to use in order to prevent over penetration and harming someone else unintentionally.
It seems the co-worker is a .380 kinda guy
However, his perception seems to be HP's are only used for those who can't hit their target.
Most people like JHP/HP for the lack of penetration power.
Ding ding ding, "What do we have for him Johny?"
Yep. He has other stuff but his carry piece is a Bersa 380.
He showed it to me and I like it.

What do you mean by "better"?
The top pro shooters shoot HP's because they claim they are more accurate.
I tend not to argue with those who make their living shooting.
Agree 100% Take for instance 45 cal, the 185gr are mostly for target shooting and they are HP.
I've always wondered how a hollow point, which produces more drag, is more accurate than a round nose and obviously much more aerodynamic projectile...
Do you think it's word of mouth or is there really any scientific data to back up the "hollow points are more accurate" theory?
