Have not bought a box of factory ammo in years, except shotgun ammo and rimfire.

Hornady 124gr. XTP wins for accuracy and speed..

Sounds like good stuff that you know should work well if you ever need to use it in a self-defense situation.

I'm using Speer Gold Dots in my 9mms now

I have fired both .38 special Hornady Critical Defense and Federal Hydra-Shok in my SP101. Hornady had a bit more recoil than Federal Hydra-Shok. I have no idea how they compare against human targets. Let's assume that both brands effective in both .38 special and in 9-mm.

I think the key issue would be how well they feed in an automatic pistol. Pistols with steep feed ramps have sometimes experienced failure to fee problems with blunt-nosed ammunition. My Browning M35 Hi-Power fed everything without a failure to feed. So far, my SR9C has not had a problem.
