Your points are valid but they have nothing to do with this post. The question was about CCW revolvers using cartridges like .44 Special not Semi Auto cartridges. I would not debate your choice of handgun, it’s yours so “carry on”. It’s just not pertinent to the subject!@westernrover - the Lucky Gunner clear jel pics I posted were to illustrate how a non-expanding bullet (WC) compares to one that expands.
OP starts with: "Who here believes" and the comparison was in support of my opinion that 11 rounds 9mm is preferable to 5 rounds wadcutter.
I could link a Youtube video using sim-test rather than clear gel; Nah, if one is inclined they can look for a different test, or not. Doesn't affect me.
I've got one bullet test that was not in gel, a 155 XTP 10mm that expands to about .65 in gel managed to make a hole bigger than a quarter in tissue:

Do I think a 44 wadcutter would make a hole that big? Nope. But, like, ... that's just my opinion.
There are good and bad choices in every caliber. Some hollow point designs work some better than others. Specific to short barreled velocity challenged cartridges of the big bore type in a revolver Wadcutters and Semi Wadcutters are an improvement over RNL or Non-Expanding hollowpoints.
