yeah ive got mags of WFN hard cast.....looking for a good tough JHP as well
Oh man, that's a tough one.
Lemme think about it.
You don't have to think too hard............Fed 230 HST's of Remington Golden Sabre Bonded will do just fine. As will a hard cast similar to what Mackay showed.
I hear good thinks about Hornady Critical Duty as well.............not fired one though.
My EDC 1911 is loaded with the Fed HST unless I think I need the somewhat better possible penetration of the HC.
YMMV though, especially since you don't like 1911's

I’ve still got quite a bit of the old Remington Factory Golden Sabre Ammo I bought back when I worked in the Wholesale Firearms Industry on a closeout.
Killed one deer and a couple of hogs with it. Expanded well, but I was not overly impressed with the penetration. The Hornady Critical Defense looks like good ammo, but I be not tried it.
If I didn’t handload, or couldn’t buy the Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman factory load, I’d buy Mackay’s 250 gr hard cast load.
I shoot a LBT WFN hard cast load that I handload that’s very similar. It’s a hog killing sob.
