Quality JHP
I carry JHP in my Makarov.
I'd use ball if I hadn't already shot thousands of rounds including hundreds of JHP, with zero malfunctions due to ammo, so I'm confident it'll do the job. Many cheaper hollowpoints in pistol calibers don't expand reliably, so I carry MagTech Guardian Gold JHP. They're NOT as high priced as some like COR-BON, but I think they're a step up from some others. I still rely on shot placement. I figure... IF it expands, that's a bonus, but between a marginal caliber (IMHO) and likelihood of having to shoot through a heavy coat (here in Minnesota) I'd aim for center of mass and hope it'd do the job.
