Don't take this wrong bud...but it seems you had your mind made up when ya posted the question. The only comment I have is this. You have already put too many suppositions into the equation already. My wife carries a S&W Chief's special(don't think it is +P rated as it is an older one). I loaded it with 110 gr JHP. Works just fine...expands pretty well. and worry about the hollow point issue later. What you would REALLY like to have is a one shot stop with no complete penetration. Yes there are probably many police departments that use hollow point ammo. The scenarios you have brought up are all possible...with any ammo...glasers included. If you have to worry about all the problems you have stated then the best thing to carry will be a sling shot(that is said tongue in cheek). In all the shooting victims i ever had to deal with...only two had complete pass thru's...one was a 9mm FMC to the left cheek..exit over the right ear and the other was 4 25 auto rounds to one victim..one thru the thigh one thru the shoulder one to the left side and the right arm..all passed thru. Another victim had 6 357 rounds into a 4 inch area center chest..none passed thru and they were all , if I remember correctly, 125 gr HP at a distance of less than 20 ft. Oh, the victim DID Not make it, BTW. Believe me..in a shooting situation... You'll be into real pucker mode.. Adrenaline is abundant in real high doses in a gun fight. I don't care how much training ya have.
