I've talked to people who load the first 3 to 5 rounds of their CC gun with hollow point ammunition, with the remainder of the rounds in that magazine and any spare magazines being FP bullets or another type of bullet capable of better penetration. The thinking is that after the first few rounds are fired your attacker/attackers will have taken cover and they want something that can penetrate that cover. Thoughts on this? I live in the Chicago area, so it's obviously well populated and excess penetration is a consideration. I'm asking this with the understanding that I'm no longer a LEO and having two boys to raise, my main goal is to get out of an area where trouble or violence is taking place. I have no intention of remaining in an area during a gun fight if I have the choice to leave nor would I shoot at an attacker who abandoned the attack and was trying to leave.
