And I'm assuming George Hill will be reading this in a minute....
With all this talk about power/penetration, "knock down" etc. I took a look at The Firearms Tactical Institute and noticed they had stats for a Glock 30 shooting 230 grn Hydroshoks.

Being a Penetration kind of guy I was dismayed to see that the Glock 30 with a 3.8" barrel was only getting 12.9" of penetration in bare gelatin. Denim covered penetration was 18+ inches. (18+ because the rounds left the block at 18" and was lost.
So now I'm left wondering if the 230 grn Hydro-shok is a good round for a 4" or less barrel? Now I Really want to chono out my Compact, and since abunch of us Utah Types are going out in a few weeks to fight the Grasshoppers I'm wondering if anyone has any home penetration tests?
So here is my idea; if each of us buys a different box of the "good stuff" Then we could test it all on Skyder's Chrono. and maybe whatever penetration tests we can come up with. Taking all this from the Theory to the Reality!
I'll post on the Utah message and try and get people looking this way.
