I recently moved into a condominium, and share walls with other condos on two sides, while a third side is a wall between my unit and a common hallway. I worry about firing a shot at an intruder and having it go through one of these common walls (either because I missed or because it went through the intruder). I have a Glock 21 (.45) and a Glock 17 (9mm), both with jacketed hollow points.

My question is, is there a safer round to use in this situation? Or should I consider less lethal alternatives like pepper spray?

Your thoughts are much appreciated!
