I carry a 45 by the bed and it loaded with 230 gr hydrashoks. I got to thinking that since a 125gr .357 is arguably the best manstopper wouldn't a lighter faster 45 possibly be better. Assuming that it functions in my gun wouldn't it (in theory at least) have the following positives:
More reliable expansion due to higher velocity
Less penetration of sheet rock and framing in case of a missed shot
Still at least a 45 caliber hole
Still would have adequate penetration of a bad guy
What are the draw backs that you can see (along with any more positives)
Finally if you use a 45 for self defense what do you use and why?
