However a buddy of mine suggested the hornady critical duty since I have a full size. He said that with critical defense in a full size, the slug won't reach its peak velocity... I know critical defense is meant for use against targets with only medium-thick clothing and critical duty are designed to penetrate barricades and still be able to penetrate the target and expand as intended. My concern is if I'm carrying critical duty and not behind a barricade of any kind, will the round over-penetrate? Anyone have thoughts on the matter or suggestions for a good self defense round to carry?
