Why not?
FMJ is guaranteed to feed in any decent 1911, and the 230gn .45 ball cartridge has been, literally, putting human attackers face-down on the concrete or dirt for decades.
The +P 230gn JHP that's chambered first is there to impart first-round shock value into the upper thoracic. The next 7 rds of ball are for follow-up shots as needed. And at the distances I practice, there's really no significant difference in POI.
With your adrenalin pumping in a fast-moving self-defense situation, you're not going to perceive any difference in felt-recoil as between the +P and standard ball load.
Hmm. Well I guess if that works for you but I have to say that doesn’t work for me. The only time I would ever use full metal jacket’s is while shooting at a paper target. But if you really have something against hollow points, or like I was told in a different forum; if hollow points weren’t available, you’d probably be better off using wadcutters because even though those will punch an exit hole the same size as the entry hole they made coming in, at least the sharp edges when when they hit bone or hard material that they won’t deflect off that, they’ll just cut right through it.
