Hst is all I trust my life to. I carry 124 +p daily, and 147 standard in my pcc and while shooting suppressed. Looking at all these stats just reaffirms what ive known for years. Hst is still and will remain the king of self defense ammo. Reliable expansion even with clothing or less than ideal velocity. It always opens and always gets its penetration mark. Im blown away at how miserably some of the gold dot failed in this test. They were always a good backup plan. Seeing the overpenetration and lack of expansion, its probably not ideal for shorter barrels or situations you dont want to risk a pass through.
