Ok... You don't list the Federal HST, which looks like a better performer in wet newsprint tests than the Federal Hydrashok.
You also neglect to list Winchester white box JHPs. I know they're considered cheap, but they're no cheaper than Georgia Arms defense ammo loaded with Gold Dot bullets, and their performance in wet newsprint shows that they consistently expand. Their expansion may not be as fancy as Golden Sabers or Federals with the jacket forming "claws," but they DO get bigger, and they do it consistently, which is the most important thing you can ask for from a defensive round.
I would carry 147gr Federal HSTs, 147gr Golden Sabers, 147gr Gold Dots, or 147gr WWB without worrying in my Bersa 9mm. I did read the "controversy" surrounding the use of 147gr 9mm rounds in handguns, but it doesn't worry me, because I searched until I found real range reports and tests (some in gel and some in wet newsprint) comparing modern 115, 124, and 147 grain defensive loads in 9mm. I'm not worried that the heavy subsonic 147gr bullets won't expand reliably. Most of the modern 147gr JHP bullets consistently did what they were supposed to do.
Compared to todays premium SD ammo choices it is a poor performer and is badly outdated.
