Its not the subject that's confusing, its your posts. I'm pretty sure I read "antiquated design that's not even considered fit for duty". Now you're saying they're "not bad". Additionally, you threw in an approved list of carry loads, and hydrashoks are on there twice. Make up your mind.

Dit. Toe.230gr HydraShoks have always been my favorite.
HST=hydra shok technology
Not the same bullet but same expansion technology. One has a post the other does not. The secret service uses 180 grain HST as we buy their over runs here and there.

Someone once told me, "it's a 45, load it with whatever you want"
Both are good points. I believe HST/Gold Dot/Golden Saber etc are better than HydraShock, but then I also believe HydraShock is better than ball. I don't have a problem using 230gr ball.mljdeckard wrote,
Just because there are some newer designs than the hydra-shok, doesn't make it useless, unacceptable, or obsolete. Seriously.
Having said that, I carry 230 GR HSTs. For pete sake, the way some of you guys state things, you make it sound like in the real world if you were carrying 'old' hydra-shoks, and you had to use them, you would be saying; "Oh no!! I am stuck with inferior, antiquated non-glossy JHP ammo! It will surely fail to do what a bullet is supposed to and I will die!. IF ONLY I had made sure that I had brought new, acclaimed HSTs. They explode on impact and doo all kinds of things that a hydra-shok will never do!! Next time I wil.......OH CRAP!!"
