[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1668946, member: 11766"] Some Hollow points have been know to clog up with stuff and fail to expand. Truth? Fiction? Who knows... but the story makes the rounds and tests have been done....etc, etc, etc. Ball loads generally get good penetration (12 inches is sorta the base line)... but 45 ball creates fairly impressive cavitation as in passes through the wound channel. I can see why some opinionators feel a .45 cal hole "for sure" beats a 9mm that may or may not expand (or loose it's jacket, fail other wise). I dont know about the rest of you guys.... but a handgun, puny as they are, are a lot easier to tote than a M1 Garand. [/QUOTE]
