Alternate FMJ and JHP in your CC clips?

[Mr.357Sig]

I don't have a 45 acp revolver so I don't use any clips whatsoever.

After thinking this over, I need to modify what I originally said.

It depends on the caliber/gun. If overpenetration is going to be an issue, I wouldnt do it. I would be very hesitent to carry any FMJ in a caliber that is super sonic.

Also have to consider how accurate a shooter you are. If FMJ doesnt hit center mass you run a risk of deflection. Guess that could go for JHPs as well, but I would think the loss in velocity would be substantially more with JHP deflection than FMJ.

Someone needs to do some ballistics test with deflection and penetration, dagnabbit!

There it is again! I'm glad you beat me to it so I don't have to look so anal!

I dont have a problem with carrying 45 hardball.

OP should alternate steel core, JHP, FMJ, TC, LRN, TC, and tracer rounds in his CC clip.

90% of all persons shot with a handgun round continue doing whatever they were doing before taking the single hit. That stat is universal to bullet type and caliber. Hollow points are basically flesh anchors. They only very slightly increase wounding. What they do is limit overpenetration therefore limit liability. The way to make a handgun an effective fight stopper is not to get a bigger one, it is to use the front sight and place your shot. 22LR is amazing effective with precision placed hits. 45 ACP is poor fight stopper with misses and/or edge hits.

Stopping power comes with centerfire rifles and proper bullet design for the size critter you intend to take. Go pull old articles from International Wound Ballistic Assn and Dr. Fackler. Read it all and get with the facts and forget the gun magazine articles.

I know some flip slugs and buckshot in thier shotguns but a hand gun is not a shotgun.

Alternating buckshot and slugs in a shotgun magazine tube is a ridiculous idea.
