I've always run RN bullets in my 1911s because that is what the 1911 is traditionally most reliable with. It has always been the KISS method for me, but I'm starting to evolve.
As the above poster mentioned, flat nosed bullets run well with tube style magazines (preventing bullets from setting off primers). In addition to that, I run them almost exclusively in revolvers. For me, a good flat point load should be considered in a defensive load. Flat point bullets have an advantage over round nosed bullets for the fact that they don't deflect on hard surfaces such as bone the same way a round nosed bullet will. Also, if targets that I've shot are any indication to wound cavity, I'd say that they leave a permanent entrance hole on the predator vs. a round nose that can leave a temporary hole that will largely close itself off.
A lot of bullet casters select bullet molds that have a large metplate (flat section) when they wish to maximize stopping power on game or 2 legged predators. I tend to fall in that same camp for handgun when caliber diameter is less than .450.
BTW, I'm a big fan of flat points for .38spl. I don't trust hollow points to open up at .38spl velocities. Flat points give added insurance in my opinion.
Shot placement is way more important than all that other stuff though.
RN vs RNFP ?
