It is a good combination of diameter, without too much speed. Modern hollow point ammo really makes it good.

I had 185 gr. Federal Hydra Shoks loaded in my Ruger P90 when it was my home defense gun.

Now, I have an SP-101 loaded with .38 +P hollow points. Smaller gun, no worries about keeping the mag spring under tension, and a laser sight may just make the difference.
