Why Not Sierra?
I don't think I've ever seen a report of someone using Sierra handgun bullets. Not one. No target reports. No bullet performance reports on game or anything else. No pictures of recovered bullets from anything.
Why is that?
Here's a list of Sierra handgun bullets designed for hunting. It sure seems someone would have tried one or more of them.
