I was at the range today shooting my EAA 38 and a older gentlemen came over and asked what I carry in it.I told him Hornady critical defense.His response was it was a waste of money and that a soft lead bullet loaded in the +p range was just as effective and that I shouldn't get caught in such trends.I'm not new to shooting or terminal ballistics and have killed a few deer with a semi jacketed soft point 357 but never had a one hit quitter until I switched to a semi jacketed hollowpoint. He said that's different out of a six inch barrel than out of a two inch and a hollow point won't expand anyway so the best you can hope for is bullet deformation which soft lead has the highest ability to do.My question is if it has the vilocity to deform a bullet shouldn't it expand a hollowpoint.
