I dont know where to even start looking on here, but someone posted up a link to a survelliance video in a police precinct, where a suspect wasnt padded down and while he was waiting to be interrogated, pulled out a 1911 in .45 and shot himself in the head, point blank. The bullet didnt exit the other side, and I doubt a guy like that had JHP loaded in it.

Boy I hope the 1911 wasn't hurt in the crash to the floor. ;)

I plink with the cheapest junk I can buy. And it the SHTF, that's what will mostly go through my XD and my 1911s.

For daily personal protection, I use Golden Sabers +P 185 gr. both styles (1911s and XD) eat it like it's breakfast. When I started looking for an expanding round, I found the the sabers had an average expansion of something on the order of 67ish caliber.

It resonates with me that a big, fat, "slow" moving round imparts most of it's energy to the target, and with the expansion, I don't think it will penetrate the average 180 lb. man with a torso shot, nor a head shot, thereby transferring ALL of it's impact energy to the target.

Of course, if the BG is wearing body armor, all bets are off, but a leg or head shot will put them on the ground a majority of the time, if you can hit 'em with it. Normally, however, I don't run into too many BGs with kevlar... :dirty:
