Failed to expand
Jacket came off and failed to expand. I like HST and use them in all my duty/off dutt carry weapons.

Reliability is my biggest concern. And Federal is definitely realiable.
My whole arsenal is arranged around 9mm and 38 spcl. It makes things easier when it comes to having only a couple different calibers. I train and shoot with what I carry and store. Meaning I target practice with the good stuff and don't only shoot the cheap stuff at the range. Now I do purchase some FMJ, like guard dog, but I prefer JHP for self defense and practice with what I intend to use and shoot.

Excellent
As a veteran law enforcement officer, I have seen the 147-grain Hydra-Shok at work and I can tell you this round offers deep penetrating devistation.
