I will suggest to you, the Pow-R-Ball ammo in the self-defense load. This is a 135 grain bullet that has a velocity of 1240fps (faster actually) and also aids in feeding up the ramp of your semi-auto by way of the round shaped plastic insert in the hollow point bullet. I have my Glock .40 calibers loaded up with these bullets. Now I tested these in wet newspaper and they penetrate about 1 inch less than the Cor-Bon or Speer Gold Dots, however, they will cause much more tissue damage because that bullet FRAGGS apart like a bomb going off inside. They were really wicked on the bundled wet newspaper!!!
