Hollow point their rate of expansion delivers more energy to the assailant it also reduce the chances for the bullet to exit the assailant with enough Force to kill a bystander.

urethane filled hollow points.

What is the purpose of urethane filled hollow points? To make them more aerodynamic?

The tip is red and feels like a pencil eraser. It's supposed to be better for a short barrel. And guarantees a large transfer of force from a larger mushroom. Hornady makes a few types. I'm carrying the critical defense.
A normal JHP will penetrate then expand where as a rubber/urethane filled JHP will begin expanding on impact. In my opinion the filled JHP's do less damage to a perpetrator than a standard JHP because the expand on impact and thus the normal soft tissue of the outer body absorbs most of the damage and limits the amount of internal (organ) damage.

Very good point.....there is another major thing to consider with JHP's....look into the center of the bullet, if the Jacket is segmented like the outer casing then it will have very little penetration before separating. If it has a solid Jacket and a segmented outer casing then it will penetrate deeper before expanding.

False, JHP's break apart and lose momentum rapidly when they hit a target. They do more internal damage but are far less likely to pass through-and-through.
