I hear alot about how it is good now with modern ammo for self defense but what about before all these hollow points came onto the market? Are there examples of it failing to stop when a .45 would?
YESAre there examples of it failing to stop
probably not manywhen a .45 would?
I'd go for the FMJ if being attacked in close quarters by a group of assailants.

Seriously? You're going to take the neat small wounds of ball ammo (regardless of caliber) rather than the messy torn-up wounds of an expanding round ... all for the possibility that you might have someone lined up just right to catch the overpenetrating round?The overpenetration will help to incapacitate others in the group.
I eagerly await this discussion, I've got popcorn and beer.
