Don't fall for the gimmick ammo.
Odd are if it is handgun ammo and in a 20rd or 25rd box - it is gimmick ammo.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Ok I'm convinced
For the most part, I think the ammo wars are right up there with the caliber wars. A hollow point made by a reputable, well known company is going to perform well enough for any self-defense situation. I won't say that you won't get an extra 5/100th inch of expansion but I will say it won't matter. As long as the velocity is sufficient for the bullet design, you'll usually get a mushroom. The primary goal is to dump all of the energy in the body. A ball round will frequently pass through, not delivering the maximum energy.
Remember, you need to fire a fair amount of your carry ammo to establish reliability. That gets expensive when it's super special, $2 a round killer ammo. And, you should be using it up every couple of years because sweat, corrosion, jarring from carrying it will decrease reliability.
Get a couple of boxes of law enforcement ammo and you should have no worries."A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Yeah yeah yeah I get it. But the beautiful flowers those Barnes bullets make are so pretty. I can see it now.... M.E. says "wow what great expansion! That shooter really went top shelf with those". By the way, Midway has them for $1 a round so not outrageous.

If I'm ever attacked by a block of Jello , I can be confident in knowing those all-copper bullets will mushroom beautifully!

I’m a fan of the Barnes solid copper as a hunting projectile.I’ve used Barnes solid copper sabots ,spitfire TMZ 290 grain in my muzzleloader on deer and the results are devastating. That being said I’m not carrying a .50 muzzleloader . I stick with Hornady XTPs in most of my CCWs .40 and 9mm.

Re: Ok I'm convinced
Barnes bullets are good to go. The only problem is the price.

Re: Ok I'm convinced
I don't even know what brand hollow points I use in my gun. A friend of mine gave me a box for Christmas a few years ago. Before that I used 115 gr FMJ reloads. I really don't think it matters at all.
