[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1111407, member: 11766"] 230 FMJ 45 would be the ONLY caliber of ball ammo I could shoot a person with and keep a sleep at nite after word. Shoot a man with 9mm FMJ is almost always a slow and hateful death. 45 ...expanded or not make a nearly half inch hole... penetrates deep enough to get to the good parts...and it feeds through the pistol as John M intented it to. If it does run through a body... it peters out before it goes much further. I run some very basic hollowpoints in my 45...Golden Sabers, The Winchesters... and really feel that all I am doing is "tuning" a big block car engine... you cant replace cubic inches. If it fails to expand.. it's still a big hole and lot's of mass. 9mm needs the science of the expanding bullet to rate as a effective street stopper. Trading mass for speed requires a trick projectile... and any hollow point ammo can yeild a failure to expand. yea,,, dont ask me to stand still so you can test this out on me...but I carry a 45 often... the State of OK says I cant carry a .46 Someone sent me some notes... but +P 38 special is about as hot as the standard 38 Special sold back in the 1930's. I still carry 158 grain RNL in my snub nosed guns at times... When I do carry expanding bullets I favor the 110 grain hollow points in snubs and 125 grain in 4 inch guns [/QUOTE]
