Good load in Bulldogs and 2.75" Model 69 Smith. Penetrates well thru clothing, but it suffers from shallow depth in Ballistic gel. 13" is about max depth so SD use is not great. I have carried it but am not using it often as I fear it would not reach vital organs reliably. Mild recoil, and good accuracy. Like all .44 ammo, terribly over priced, altho this is the best prices I have seen.
This weird shaped pointy bullet shoots mild and is accurate but can serve no purpose other than plinking or range practice. I can see NO USE for self defense.
