It has been proven that in police shootings officers miss about 80% of the time. Most shots never impact a person. For that reason I really don't think the driving force behind the use of HPs has anything to do with over penetration. It has more to do with immobilizing he bad guy. HPs do more tissue damage, and thus have a greater negative impact on the human body. In simple terms they deliver more SHOCK, both physically and mentally.
When was the last time you heard about a cop, or anyone else for that matter shooting through one person and maiming/ killing another? When has this ever been a huge problem? It is not... "Over Penetration" is an invented problem used as a marketing tool. Can it happen... Of coarse, but usually damage and loss of life would be negligible.
Think about this... would you shoot at a bad guy with HPs any quicker than w/ FMJs if a 9 year old child was directly behind said bad guy? Doubtful...:banghead:
