Used to work in a big inner city trauma center...all I really learned was pistol bullets don't do much to highly motivated people. Dudes would come in shot several times in the torso and be just fine.
I mostly use Gold Dots and HSTs because I can get them in bulk for cheap, but use the Golden Sabers as well. As long as it feeds and POA=POI, I'm good with it.
Blaming a bullet won't help you after the fact. If the bullet fails, try another...or many more. I too am rather unimpressed with handguns against human targets. Of all the shooting calls I have run, it was a VERY small percentage who were shot with a handgun and actually incapacitated on scene. Most are wounded, some even critically or mortally; yet they all still have a good deal of fight in them.
