So now you have resorted to insults and personal attacks because you have no facts to support your opinion why I would be better off with Buffalo Bore TC vs WWB fmj/tc.
Why in the world do people get so heated about this stuff?
My theory is that the distance and anonymity of the internet simply allows for more bluster and chest thumping than would occur during face to face discussions.
I think we are all, more or less, vulnerable to such silliness.
I still agree with kokapelli.

It's true, what worked one day may not work the next. It's the same in all these discussions, instead of just taking the other guys point and accepting that it may be valid, it becomes a peeing contest to try and change the other persons mind,
When you have as many variables as you have with guns and bullets, there really is no one way or one right way that works all of the time.
Guys have died from 1 shot from a 22, or a slingshot, and lived after 6 rounds of 45. So what does it matter to prove that one way is better than another?
what works for you should be enough, hopefully you won't need to find out.
Sometimes we all take things too seriously, all you can do is try to be prepared for what may happen, and hope that it never does.
Since shooting became more popular in the last 15-20 yrs, everyone is trying to make a buck with whatever they can market to the public as the latest greatest thing to ever happen to the sport.
Most of it is nonsense, some is relevant, but when you are dealing with 2 or 10 things that are very similar and are job specific, "like a bullet" there isn't going to be a heck of a lot of difference between them. It's more where you placed them "IMO", and which is easiest to handle.

I used them in my 380 when I lived in NY. I would also alternate rounds sometimes, because in the winter months, people wear a lot of layers of clothes. A hollow point might have a problem with a heavy jacket a couple of sweaters a shirt and tee shirts. It is something to consider.
There are a lot of new fibers out there now, who knows if some might be more resistant than people thought years ago. Having a mag with FMJ's in your pocket can't hurt. Also for firing through a barrier, like car doors or windows.

HydraShok is a 1980s design. May expand, may not.
There are certainly better designs available today.
But if they don't function in your pistol, that is not of much use to you...
Bottom line; find something that functions, is readily available and that you have some confidence in...

Hydra shocks
This is true. but in all the 380 tests for the round (that I have seen), they seem to be doing the job they were meant to. Actually, I've been more impressed with the tests for the round in 380 than I have with hydrashok tests in other calibers.

Eh, probably 'cause choosing SD ammo is such an important decision and lotsa folks don't wanna hear something that contradicts what they've bought into.
As for the chest-thumping and bluster, you are probably correct- once the possibility of physical retaliation in response to abusive conduct is removed from the equation civility is often the first thing tossed out the window. With so much of that on the gun boards and almost everywhere else today it makes me wonder how the worst of such actors will account for themselves when carrying a firearm.
