"Over-penetration" Don't even worry about it.

Yes, and it's a lot less stress to be with the regular people. I do kinda miss my hats, though. I visited them in the closet just this morning.

Hard cast .357 magnum will penetrate a whole lot of stuff. Adult male's torso, security door, exterior door, interior walls, and finally stopped by a door header or brick fireplace, depending on incident. I'm not sure the fireplace one was hardcast, it splintered on the bricks and wasn't recoverable except as smooshed lead bits. I've yet to see Critical Duty stop in a human's chest, either, although I think a spine hit might stop it. They expand just fine. They just keep on trucking. I've got a photo of a hole in one side of a leather jacket and a star shaped hole on the other side, so it expanded as advertised in the mean in between. I like Critical Duty .357 for trail carry but am a bit leery of carrying it in an urban environment based on those observations.

Sounds like a good round for hiking in bear country

Sorry, previous post off topic.

At my last house in town we had fairly close neighbors, all 4 directions. I chose birdshot in the 12ga & hst in the 9mm

Wow. You must really like your neighbors.

neither round would have breached the exterior with much energy if at all

Yep.
Yours are safe compared to mine.

I got 00buck, M193, and/or 9mm.
All depending on my mood.... and where in the house I am at the time.

Where I am now neighbors not nearly as close, plaster/lath, thick siding. still use HST for the 9's & 45acp, 00 buck 12ga.

Also, water is wet.

yes and skill set dictates it’s hard to be a life guard if one can’t swim. If penetration is on your mind during a defensive attack, it is not going to matter.
