The .45 Colt is an old (by American standards) but a very effective manstopping round that does not rely on expansion to be effective. .45s of any type, in my view are already "expanded" and by virtue of their size and weight are going to punch a nice hole in a bad guy. The PMC load should not penetrate any worse than say a 9mm or .45 ACP FMJ, but since it is loaded to lower velocity, it should be that much of a problem with a hard cast lead round. I would feel very comfortable defending my self in my home with a good Colt SAA in .45 Colt loaded with lead bullets. Crime in the US is not that bad in states like mine, Virginia, where open carry and concealed carry are permitted. The would be thugs loose their nerve when they think they will confront an armed citizen.
