I understand using ball in the POC pistols that couldn't chamber anything else. But I don't carry one of those.

My favorite bullet is the Hornady XTP - I prefer 185gr going at least 1000fps.
Actually, any 1911 should be able to feed 230 grain hollow points, so long as the bullet's ogive is the same as a FMJ ball round. My 1961 Colt Government model, for example, feeds any popular 230 grain hollow point.
