Guard Dog?

Anyone using the new Guard Dog ammo for home defense? the ads i've seen look like they would be good for HD since apparently they expand on walls as well as tissue, making over-penetration less of an issue. Any thoughts/experiences? thinking of getting some for my .45 HD gun.

In 9mm the 105gr Gaurd Dog behaves and performs just about like most 380 ACP.

IIRC 10-11" of penetration - 12" max I believe and something liek .50" - ish expansion.

I don't see why someone would use it unless maybe they had a derringer in 9mm and couldn't handle the recoil so instead of buying a different gun they download it with Gaurd Dog EFMJ ???

I'd look at the gel tests for .45 to judge it, but if you look at the Winchester Ranger T in .45 I don't think over-penetration is an issue. The 230gr Ranger T is penetrating from 11" to 12.5" somewhere around there. Are you worried about overpenetrating misses? or overpentrating an assailant?
