From what I have seen the bonded soft point ammo for FBI protocol tests penetrates about the same whether in bare gelatin, through denim or barriers first. So there is no increased risk when there is not intermediary barrier. It still expands quickly and penetrates the same 12-14" with or without barrier.

In that light I see no benefit other than cost to have non-barrier blind ammo. But personal choice really. Just having a gun is miles ahead of the game, and on the slim chance you need to shoot, practically any ammo in a defense caliber is likely to be good enough. Barrier blind ammo gives you a advantage fir that even slimmer chance you need that without over penetrating otherwise.
