Are 223 FRANGIBLE U.S.G.I. - 50 grain bullets a good choice for home defense?

Read the tacked thread about defensive ammo, or do a search for this same question asked a couple weeks ago.

Short answer, no. Frangible pistol ammo, at least, acts like FMJ in tissue. At rifle velocities, if it fragments, it is too light weight to do much good against anything save prairie dogs.
