I know I have my favorites...what say you?
Does your choice differ for revolver and semi-autos?
Why?

It depends on the caliber, and to some extent you handgun.
Federal Hydra-Shok and Cor-bon consistantly rank highest in tests of penetration and soft tissue damage. I trust Hydra-shok myself in my 9mm and .40S&W.
I'm going to provide a link...sorry....but this gentlemen truly answers your question, caliber-by-caliber, and gives a lot of relevant information on the topic that you may not have considered. It's a very good read......

I like Winchester silver tip hollow points but they are less likely to feed reliably in a semi-auto.
That is for personal defense. For home defense I prefer a 12 gauge pump with mini magnums and #4 shot because it has just the right level of penetration but won't carry through several walls and possibly hit innocent people in another room or house.
The total impact energy of one round is equivalent to being hit by the entire clip of 9mm rounds.

Glaser safety slugs for both revolver and auto. My choice does not differ.
For home defense and most ccw circumstances Glaser gives 99% energy tranfer to the target.

00 Buck is my choice for a 12ga and Winchester silvertip at close range in either 38spl or .357magnum at a distance a 158gr Keith type lead will do the trick

hydro-shock all the way of course if you have to use them for self defense be prepared for legal battle over the ammo you you used i read a lot of combat handguns and the legal column is full of useful info.
