I understand that a deer hunting round can penetrate body armor. My question is, what's the value in having HAND GUN ammo that can pierce body armor. It's an honest question.

Fair question. While USUALLY cops are the only ones to wear body armor, that isn't always the case. Look at the north hollywood bank robbers, wearing body armor. There have been other instances like home invasions done by criminals who were wearing body armor. Most people defend their homes with handguns initially and if body armor protects against most handgun rounds, a home invader could feel less vulnerable in committing his crime.
Over all, I'd want body piercing ammo for that very reason even though I'm an expert shooter. It would be rare to need it, but i'd rather have it and never need it, than to need it and not have it.
