Problem with that most if not all autoloaders are very picky about the length of cartridges being in spec. With revolvers anything goes, .45 Long Colt I remember had a copper hollow point that expands over an inch. .45 ACP already expands to .85-95.
There's also the issue that expansion will retard penetration, pistol rounds can expand too well and not penetrate deep enough in flesh to hit actual vital organs. This matters more when you're not squared with the target like Miami Dade where the target was engaging another officer, the round went though the arm, into the chest, and stopped just short of the heart. A fatal wound but not immediately incapacitating allowing the suspect to fight on and kill several more officers.
You'd need more energy to propel your super hollow point to get meaningful penetration.
