You dont want pistol rounds to fragment if you are shooting through something.
New rounds arent wonder rounds, they just hold together, expand much more reliably, and therefore penetrate much more reliably than older/poor loads. Unless you investigate a lot of OIS involving vehicles, and look at the performance (penetrstion depth, retained weight, expansion, barriers involved, etc), you likely wouldnt notice a difference.
