It's the only ammo my local gun shop has at the momment.

Is it good or bad for defensive use?

Its not bad. Its all I could get locally for a long time. I had to order my 195 online (the hollow points).

I pretty much only shoot the 197 at the range, and for a few months, that was what I kept in the gun at home for defense. Now, I have the 195 in it.

U know, U can buy the 195 online and probably get it shipped to U for about the same price as your local 197.

Ok, 195 is the hollow point.

I paid $17.99 + tax a box for the 197. Is a box of 195 more expensive than a box of 197 ?

That is a great price of 197 is that is local. U can buy the 195 for about the same price or $1, depending on what sales people have online.
