[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 2636678, member: 105720"] Penetration has a lot to do with sectional density mass/density^2. So a 9mm/357 that's heavy will have better SD and penetration than an equivalent weight from 10mm/40 and much more than a .45. 10mm does have a strong pentation advantage compared to .44 calibers for this reason. Now when you're talking about thick hide/breaking bones/making damage I don't think the comparisons are so easy to generalize or give a clear advantage based on SD alone. But yes, it's a moot point if you can't hit what you're shooting at and manipulate your firearm. [/QUOTE]
