Ammo? for .357 Mag Winchester 110 Gr PD

I have heard good things about the stopping power of the 125 grain Winchester Silvertips.

I saw some 110 grain .357 Magnum Winchester loads labelled "Personal Defense".

Does anyone know anything about these? Particularly with regard to

Overpenetration through a person.

Overpenetration through walls (in the case of a miss)

Expansion reliability when fired from 2.5", 4" or 6" barrels.

Recoil, muzzle blast and flash.

Before I plunk down $30 a box for these things (much less consider them for use in life and death situations), I wanted some feedback. The hollowpoint opening looks awfully small, not like the wide mouth of the Silvertips I have in .45 ACP.

110gr winch sjhp are an excellenty mild firing and accurate 357 mag. noticalby less recoil than any 125gr shelf brand i have fired in a taurus 65.

more energy than any 38+p as well.

overpenetration, hitting an unintended target after hitting a desired one with the same round is a risk of any high powered pistol caliber 9mm and above.

and malfunctionin jhp, and they often do, can pass thur a tv a wall and end up in a kithen stove...i have seen it. its a risk of firing a gun in defense in a crowded place.
