I agree. Stick with one ammo, HP's with take out a window just fine and if aimed right will finish the job as well.

I have never seen a round not take out the side window glass, but I must confess that I have seen a few people bleeding from the head for taking a baton or a mag light that bounced off the glass and came right back at them. Who knew those pesky windows would do that?

Just some info on the HPT in the Sig family of Pistols.
I have had several Sig's, P320, P365XL, P365 Macro, P322. while all of them fed well with the FMJ and HPT , the emphasis is the feed tay on the HPT. Because the angle of the feed tray on a flat nose bullet is critical to feeding the bullet into the chamber.
I had no malfunctions after firing both types of ammo with all of these Sig's.
The Sig P322 seems to get lead build up with lead bullets instead of copper or other types of bullets. I switched over to CCI 22 Magnum and had no malfunctions.
I have shot hundreds of rounds through all of these pistols, shooting a fast cycle or slow. Allowing the barrel to heat up and the chamber with no malfunctions.
I think both round are accurate, and the HPT has more stopping power, which is needed in many situations that you might get into.
The difference in HPT's is what type, because there is quite a variety of HPT's on the market today.
