[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2839366, member: 35089"] After reading the article then going through the comments at the bottom someone made a valid point: "The're not talking about a huge factor here. If your firing into "the shirtless moron", .40 S&W vs 9mm is not that big of a difference, but that is not real life. Bring in layered clothing, and, or, cover and, you have a totally different game afoot." The layered clothing debate is what interests me...not so much the "cover" penetration argument since im not going to be shooting at what I cant see. I had a retired OK cop tell me a story about shooting a guy with 9mm wearing an army field jacket. He claimed that the bullets didn't penetrate the coat and were brushed off the mans clothing afterwards. Supposedly a second cop showed up at some point with his 45acp and saved the day by killing the individual. When I asked what type of ammo the 9mm was he said P+ hollow points. Now...I just really have a hard time believing that story but curious if anyone has had a similar experience. I couldn't help but feel like he heard the story from someone who heard the story from someone, etc... I am personally a 9mm guy for the pros stated in the article: extra capacity and quicker follow up shots. [/QUOTE]
