I use Federal 230gr HyrdaShoks. They run very reliably in my 1911's and in tests I've done with wet newsprint, they expand well.
I'm old. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I carry 230 gr. Gold Dot hollow points in my 5" Springfield 1911. They are accurate, reliable, and expand perfectly in water.
I have considered giving the 200 gr. +P a shot - but reliability testing is expensive. |

Of the major brands, reliability first, accuracy second; the rest is about performance and they'll all work and fail about the same.

If a gun will halfway feed ball, it will feed the CB PB.
Really tho, I like the CB DPX better, but carry the PB in my alloy frame commander.

I suspect any personal defense round in a .45 will do the job, but good placement will rule the day.
