Great insights! However, has anyone actually had to use ball ammo in self-defense? Real-world stories could help weigh the pros and cons.
I haven’t used ball ammo for self-defense myself, but a friend of mine did. He said it went through the target without stopping, which was pretty nerve-wracking to think about.

Ball ammo works, but I sometimes feel like saying, ‘why settle for less?’ I’d always choose hollow points for the added reliability. Just makes more sense to me.
You know, when I first started out, I thought ball ammo was all you needed. But after learning more, I’ve really changed my tune. You grow and adapt your understanding.
For humor, I suppose you could say, if I were to use ball ammo, I’d need my own ball pit to catch the stray rounds! But seriously, over-penetration is no joke.
Haha, that’s a good one! But really, being serious, I think self-defense rounds are important for peace of mind.
To each their own, I guess. Some swear by ball ammo for practice and home defense, but I’m just not betting my life on it.

I think it’s critical to test whatever you choose for self-defense before relying on it. Everyone’s situation is different, and knowing what works for you is key.
