Personally, I'm wary of new bullet designs, seems like everyone has their cool gimmick. I admit, I fell for it in my younger days too and all too often got burned by under-performing crap ammo. I mean, it's good that companies are trying to improve on ammo and bullet technology, but every new ammo on the market is, "Amazing performance! It's a GAME CHANGER!" Until they're tested and proven in real world situations, no thanks.
I'll stick with my tried and true, Federal HST.

if the round breaks up, then i would think you would lose an amount of weight to the round which effects performance. I would be wary until they are tested in real encounters. Its a fad-bullet like that RIP bullsh*t ammo.

Exactly. It's normally a bad thing when a JHP sheds it's jacket. This is why any quality JHP self-defense ammo is bonded.
