[QUOTE="Remington, post: 1403997, member: 845"] I pick up my new Kahr P380 (primary use CCW) today and I'm looking at ammo. There is a lot of talk about using FMJ for penetration and hollow points for expansion. To me it seems it's a personal prefrence and determing which bullets shoot best in your gun, I looked over this webpage: [URL="http://www.goldenloki.com/ammo/gel/380acp/gel380acp.htm"]http://www.goldenloki.com/ammo/gel/380acp/gel380acp.htm[/URL]. Test protocol: 2 layers loose denim Question: I've read expansion stops, penetration kills. The hollowpoints are averaging 12 inches. Do you really need more penetration than that? At 12 inches and a properly expanded bullet doens't that constitute stopping power and penetration? How much penetration do you need? After all I've read, the one thing I thought was the most interesting was someone saying they alternating FMJ and hollow points in the gun. [/QUOTE]
