The new Critical Defense were suggested as they apparantly are not affected by heavy clothing, like leather, which I have heard affects a normal hp round. Elderboy also has me looking at the Gold Dots and made a valid point about the Critical Defense rounds being relatively new and unproven thus far.

Living in Florida, and the cold weather almost gone, I'm not sure if this is a valid concern.

I've said it before, my personal defense has no price tag.
There is a difference between FMJ and JHP. FMJ's can over penetrate. Head on over to ar15.com and click on the handguns tab. There is a forum for ammunition and the have reviews. Basically, Winchester Ranger, Federal HST, Corbon, and Speer Gold Dots are great.
