I use it in my short barrel 45 ACP pistols (G36 and Kimber Tactical Ultra II) for several reasons. Lighter bullet and higer velocity will be a plus in these short barrels and I know that the nose of the round will not plug with misc material such as the BG's fabric/clothing. Therefore I should get controlled expansion at a decent velocity for a short barrel plus it feeds flawlessly. Hopefully I will never get the chance to see how its terminal ballistics work on a BG but I feel comfortable carrying a couple of mags of the 165 gr PowerBall. FWIW, I also carry various HP rounds for the same guns including Golden Saber, Hornady TAP, CorBon and Magtech mostly in +P 230 gr.
