Hydra Shoks were brilliant technology when they came out. But, that was nearly 2 decades ago. There's much better stuff out there today.

What do you think of Speer Gold Dot versus Remington Golden Sabres?

Gold Dots are generally better, but the Golden Sabers are not bad at all. The latter tends to expand faster.

The thing about Gold Dots is that they give very consistent performance across a wide range of conditions. They do not expand as much as some others like Golden Sabers, but they also rarely fail and work just fine through clothing, car doors, and just about anything else you can throw at them.

Since we do not get to choose the conditions under which a cartridge is used when things get ugly, I prefer reliable terminal performance under broad conditions over slightly better terminal performance in narrow conditions.

What caliber? What weight?

I think that if you're that far into the debate already, you need someone who knows a lot more about them than me.

Try Dr. Gary Roberts or Dr. Martin Fackler.

I'm pretty sure that Roberts, at least, will tell you that both Gold Dot and Golden Sabre are top of the line and you should pick whatever works reliably in your pistols. (Or, you can do what I do, and buy whichever I can get on sale, LOL!)

Good shooting, Cobra64!
