I would also use the blue Glaser safety slug. (Wouldn't that play before a jury - "I bought them because the box said "safety" slug that would not penetrate and richochet.")
The police officer that taught our CCW course has shot several perps and been present shortly after many shootings. He recommends Winchester SXT, Speer Gold Dots and Golden Sabres - in that order. He also prefers bullets that do noit exit.
As far as the Galsers go, he said that if you wanted to know why more departments did not use them, to go look at all the holes in the walls and ceilings of police ready rooms or locker rooms.... cops are not all gun-nuts and there a lot of accidental discharges. Glasers are just too nasty and too fatal. His opinion, but I respect his experience.
As far as hollowpoints go, he said that you state that you were told to use them "in this course" as they were most effective in stopping the acts against you, do not overpenetrate and are thus the safest round for you to use. Your goal is not to kill the other party but to stop him from hurting you.
