Just wondering about some questions. Not posted specifically to Kevin, just because he seems to have great experience. I numbered questions so people can answer specific questions.
1. If caliber is not important, why use HP ammo, why not just FMJ?
2. If caliber is not important, why not use .22lr for cheaper cost? Or is there a gradual difference?
3. Is power of a cartridge important? Penetration seems like it would matter too.
4. Is there a mixture of things to consider? Like 147gr HP 9mms may penetrate better than .45 HP's? But a FMJ 9mm will penetrate even more, but will not work as well as HP?
Certainly there is some caliber or power or bullet construction that comes into the decision. I don't think anyone here would handgun hunt black bears with a .25ACP when a .44 Mag was available. I agree that the modern bullets in HP have made the "defensive" calibers much better, but I don't want to be in a robbery waving a handgun around saying "it starts with a 2, it starts with a 2".
Osama and Obama both have friends who bombed the Pentagon.
