Has anyone used this ammo? It says for home defense expanding full metal jacket. PSA had some 9mm for $19.99 a box so I got some ordered.

Looks pretty slick, its a FMJ, with a soft tip under the copper jacket.
I'm not sure how much it will expand inside of human tissue, but the theory behind it is that when it hits something more solid, say sheetrock, that it will expand enough to stop inside of the wall, thereby preventing over penetration and endangering others in the house, or neighbors.

Then why use a full metal jacket?
Get the HST and be done with it 
Product Description said:
Looks like it is a HP bullet, with the HP filled with polymer (up to the point of a flat nose bullet) and then jacketed.

Info on this hst you speak of?
It's meant for areas where it's illegal to use hollow point. ( my understanding)... I'll stick with my critical defense but let us know how it shoots...
I've used it in 45 and 9 mm. Great round. Did well in the ballistics gel we tested. Consistent speed. Great for those whose guns are picky about hollowpoints, but still want better performance than fmj.
I haven't used it but got some for my wife's M&P Shield 9mm.
