The new 147 gr. 9mm ammo will out penetrate the 230 gr. .45 ACP ? In what ? It sure didn't when the FBI tested it against the .45 ACP Federal HydraShok after the Miami shootout.
When I say "didn't out penetrate," I don't mean testing medium. I'm refering to windshield glass and car doors with enough left to do real damage to the bad guy on the other side.
I find it interesting that the emphasis these days in 40 S&W ammo is away from the 180 gr. loads to the 150 gr. or even the 135 gr. stuff. I guess nobody is worried about having to exchange fire with a BG behind a car door or in a vehicle.
Me ? I like an edge if it doesn't cost too much. E
