Had a friend, fellow cop that was shot with 3 .380 silvertips. He was still able to retrieve his J frame 38 from an ankle holster and plug one of the ambushers with a 125 grn +P JHP. When he got out of the hospital he traded it for a 1911 .45 ACP.

There's nothing 'new' about a hydra shok bullet(that's just another JHP) either. As I recall, they stared out as low penetration bullets for Sky Marshalls keeping the terrs off commercial air a way back when.

It was originally patented by ammunition designer Tom Burczynski. Hydra-Shok was debuted in 1988 after the FBI requested a bullet with better terminal ballistics than traditional cup and core projectiles.
