That IS interesting. Definitely not expected.

I run 124gr Gold Dots
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I don't think I'd shoot 147 grains unless I was shooting suppressed ...
It appears these were shot from an unsuppressed pistol ... It doesn't really say, though ...

The 147GR HST looks pretty good.

I use 124 HST

I like the 147 but i dont see the need to shoot sub ammo in defensive pistol unless suppressed.

Real heavy, slow moving bullets make big, nasty, bleedy holes.
