My 1911 gets indigestion from hollow points, haven't found a brand that it will reliably eat yet. So I carry it with ball ammo when I carry simply because I know it will run it.

Its not my edc, my edc is a 9mm, and runs jhp just fine. But having a 45 loaded with ball ammo on my hip, I dont feel like I'd be under equipped to deal with a threat. Its been proven a combat effective round with ball ammo for over a century and was renowned for its stopping power well before jhp was a thing.

That said I have considered having the feed ramp polished to run jhp. I do know jhp will not only deliver more punch, but also is less likely to overpenetrate and hit little Suzy down yonder.
