FreakShow:
Here's my question, i'm guessing they are using ballistic gel to test the depth. With a round that has a longer depth, will that have a better chance of passing right through the body. Wouldn't you want something that is gonna stay in and tear sh*t up. I see some of these hollow points have plastic in the tip to keep it from clogging once it enters the body. But i would think you want the tip to break up in order to do more damage. Can someone please explain to me if i'm wrong on my thinking
SturmRugerSR9:
I carry 9MM hollow points. I only use round nose for target shooting. It was believed long ago that using round nose ment you were more likely (in a self defense situation) to have a "thru and thru" shot that does not kill the target person, but allows them to keep firing at you, causing you possible injury or death yourself.
I use several different brands. My SR9 isn't choosie, will shoot most any kind.
