When considering handgun ammo selection I have 2 basic thoughts.
1. I want the ammo to be measurably reliable in my firearm
2. I want the projectile to be a JHP for obvious reasons

I will not venture into the fantastical or outlandish possible scenarios where I might need this variant projectile or that. My EDC will be loaded with the same ammo and any extra magazine that may have on my person will also be loaded the same.

If a person wans to debate the merits of varying styles of projectiles when used in long distance rifle shots.. I think that is perfectly reasonable. When applying the same consideration to handgun ammo seems rather needless. Handguns by their very nature are rather minimal weapons at best and not really something to over intellectualize.
