    Check Active self protection youtube channel on ballistics performance. Poor. I'd recommend Fed, Winchester, etc. and study on what works best in studies. Might be fun to shoot into water jugs though!

    While novelty ammo comes in all sizes A good general rule stick with standars for caliber weights so for 9mm it would be 115 to 147 gr range with actual Police shootings having an edge with 124 to 147gr range

    Also the main makers Speer, Federal Win, Rem, Sig etc

    The idea was to cause more bleeding thus stopping the bad guy faster if a vital organ was not hit.
    I personally think Federal has a better deal with it's Federal Syntech defense rd. [video=youtube_share;xjl2HftYkmI]https://youtu.be/xjl2HftYkmI[/video]

    Supposedly good stuff in ballistic gel, but then gel makes a lot of crap bullets look good. Unfortunately the human body isn't gel. Skin, bones, fat, muscle all have differing densities and hardness and varying densities really degrade the performance of this ammo with the only portion of the bullet that actually does much is the very small core.

    I would be afraid to carry just due to the name. Wouldn’t look good in court..? Anyway, I’ve read some reviews, research. I’ll pass.

    A lot of names are just tacky. And while perception is important it depends. Criminally your probably worrying to much. In 33 years of seeing Military, Municiple and Federal court systems at work never saw a case where the Prosecutors sole means of pursuing let alone winning a case was a mean name or caliber of bullets or back plate inscription. In those cases it was ALWAYS the facts pointing to a bad unjustified shoot. No different than those YouTube trigger jobs.
