Probably would make a good defensive load. Go ahead, flame on me for saying that.
I have shot more of the 200 gr LSWC than I can remember in 1911 pistols. A number of coyotes have fallen to that round. We would call them in close, hit them right on the front shoulder and DRT. 1000 fps was my hunting load for that round, for gun games I kept them at 875.
That said, I carry 230 gr HST in my EDC.
And about penetration, the coyotes were nearly all complete pass thrus. When I was living in the sticks, the main county road saw a lot of deer and elk wintering in that valley, thus a lot of animals hit. Twice I have stopped to help
the drivers after they hit deer. Once the deer was in the ditch, looked like a broken back cause she was only using her front legs. This was a big, 300 lb deer. One round from 10', right between the ears from behind with my 200 gr got full penetration, probably 14" of tissue and bone.
