For decades my dad had handloaded hollow points in his bedside Commander mags. I think I helped him make them when I was 2nd grade. A few years ago I finally bought him a box of Hydra Shoks and took the handloads back to VA to shoot off at the NRA range. First shot - click. Recock hammer - bang. Second shot - bang. Third shot - click. That's why I wouldn't use handloands for a home/self defense gun. Never had a click with a high-end JHP round. Always a bang.
