Quite frankly, way too much time and energy get wasted on concerns over which ammo to carry.
With the technology of computer aided design and simulation available today, any modern hollow point bullet design in any of the common defensive cartridges from 9mm on up, loaded to industry standards, will likely do the job.
In the rare instances of the extremely determined / drugged up or whatever attacker who takes 33 rounds of 9mm center mass before finally giving up the attack by dying from blood loss, neither a different bullet nor different caliber would have made much of a difference.

Did a little more research - this is a lead free frangible round. Muzzle velocity 2000 fps @ 444 ft lbs, with an effective range of 25 meters. The price for a box of 20 was $24.99 so it is competitive with other 9mm personal defense. Some other web sites said that it has the stopping power of other critical defense ammo.
I kind of wonder what possible legal problems would arise from using frangible ammo in a self defense situation.
Which law enforcement agencies issue frangible rounds to their officers for carry?

Re: Carry Ammo
I carry exploding dum-dum cop killer bullets! 
Of course to the anti-rights crowd who would rather see you dead, everything is an exploding dum-dum cop killer bullet.
