[QUOTE="Norman, post: 1337685, member: 4232"] What does shooting hardball have to do with the price of tea in china? You aren't discussing FMJ rounds, you are talking about hollow points. I still stand by my statement that if you want to fire a 180-185 grain projectile at aroud 1000fps use a 40. Five 100's of an inch in fully expanded handgun projectiles is moot. Expansion is third to shot placement and penetration. Both will adequatey penetrate, so it's on you to make CNS hits for immediate incapacitation, or hit some timers. I think the advantage of a 45 is in it's bigger, slower projectiles. If you settle for .45 rounds that preform similarly to .40S&W rounds, you have gained nothing and given up mag capacity. Just IMHO [/QUOTE]
