[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3085753, member: 98000"] We figured out some time ago that penetration was a key factor in self defense ammo and that bullet weight, along with construction (weight retention) is the biggest factor in getting reliable penetration. Big game hunters have known for this stuff for years. Bullet have to penetrate to blood carrying organs and the heavier bullets are far more reliable in doing that. In a defensive handgun I generally shoot the heaviest for caliber I can get. The old 115 grain 9mm is what gave that caliber it's miserable reputation for poor stopping power. [/QUOTE]
