Besides, Hollow points are just plain better than FMJ.
Only if they expand.
“Besides, Hollow points are just plain better than FMJ.”
Under Geneva Convention rules hollow point’s are outlawed for war use....and I personally obect to them in both the Law Enforcement and civilian arenas. I’m quite sure that I am in a the minority in this regards.
My thought has always been the hollow point proponet guys are the ones using marginally performing calibres (like the 9mm, ducks) in an attempt to increase first shot effectiveness.
.45 ACP did/does not have that problem in it’s original military (ball/jacketed) loading.
The key to any weapons use and effectiveness is, and has always been, PRACTICE. Shot placement is key, especially in close quarters combat where the pistol is most likely to be used.....hollow point ammo can’t make up for the rounds inheirent lack of power, nor the in expertness of the user.
