Oh, and I would absolutely choose this over the old style Black Talon. The Black Talon might have been a decent hollow point (and a victim of its own vastly over sold hype), but it's never going to penetrate like these flat nose FMJ's. Remember- penetration, penetration, penetration...

What are your thoughts RE: lightweight, fast bullet vs heavy, slow bullet (for instance 115gr vs 147gr 9mm)?
My thought is that a heavier bullet will have better penetration.
