I'd see some 40SW rounds for about $12-$15 online also.

Are defensive/plinking rounds similar or no difference?
Plinking rounds are just any cheap FMJ round.

Defensive rounds are hollow points that are designed to expand for maximum trauma. Premium HP rounds are pretty pricey. I think I pay around $22 for a box of 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 9mm hollow points. Compare that to $10.47 for a box of 50 rounds of Federal Champion FMJ target ammo.

You could still use an FMJ round for defense, though. Just probably not the ideal round.
