    HST is not bonded. Last I knew, it had some of the best barrier penetration stats among non-bonded JHPs.

    The 124gr +p HST is what I carried in my P30 in 2009 and what I'm using in the G17 this year.

    That's exactly the impression I've gotten from the testing I've been able to find as well.

    Same loading I keep in my P226 and what I'll be keeping in the M&P9 I plan on picking up next week, barring functionality issues in that gun.

    IMO HSTs are some of the best non-bonded ammunition on the market today. Non-bonded ammo will generally expand to a greater size, however Bonded ammo (Federal Tactical Bonded) will generally be more effective in penetration (especially through barriers). Its all about application.
