Is Federal Hydra-Shok a good for use in self-defense?
When I first picked up my handgun from the transfer dealer, he showed me Federal Hydra-Shok and Speer Gold Dot. He recommended the Hydra-Shok, which is the one I bought as my non-practice personal defense ammo. My handgun uses 9 mm. Is using Federal Hydra-Shok a good strategy to use for personal self-defense, if the caliber being used is 9 mm? What is the difference between Hydra-Shok and other hollow points? The only difference I can see is a shaft in the middle of the hollow part. What does this shaft do?
How does Hydra-Shok vs. Speer Gold Dot vs. regular hollow points compare in effectiveness and structure?
