I'm a fan of Hornady's Critical Duty in the 135gr +P variety.
I use this one too, also because "You can get it in 50 round boxes" for short money.

smart Man...Federal HST.
Fed HST 124 +P
i am wondering if anyone has any info about which Hollow point bullets expand the best? penetrate the best ? i am gonna go buy some Hp ,but i want to know whats a better one shot manstopper for self defense?
What, you had to one up me?
Only complaint I have with feredal HST is it won't point-shoot through glass as reliably as Speer Gold dot. I like Speer. All my pistols like Speer.
I try not to shoot people through glass. In fact, I can't think of any self defense situations that would require me shooting a peep through glass.
All of that aside, how do you even know this?
Witnessed a shooting in Florida. Police offer vs crazy chic in a car. Three shots clustered right in front of her face all three JHPs deflected on impact with the glass and missed her. Like, he did awesome and put two in the ten ring just over the steering wheel. All three missed her and the seat entirely.I try not to shoot people through glass.

She drove off after pushing his radio car out of the way and almost killed two people a few miles down the road.
Caused me to research the effect of glass on ballistics a little at the time. Buddy I played in an orchestra pit with (FDLE crime lab tech) had some good conversations with me about it.
Every LEO I knew at the time used Speer exclusively and the "word" was for glass performance. Mostly anecdotal and now old data (the few studies we found were 2004 or earlier) but sage wisdom is sometimes based on worthwhile experiences.
