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.
I use nothing but FMJ's(.45).
