Frederick, Each firearm is unique. Buy some hollow points you want to use and try them. You would have to run several boxes through to make sure they fire reliably even if a community member says they work great in your firearm. You want to make sure the defensive ammo you want to use functions reliably in your firearm no matter what anybody else says.
