If you like the light/fast stuff...

Another alternative is Magtech's First Defense SCHP (solid copper hollow point). A 92.6g bullet at 1365 fps from my G17 and BHP.

Through 6 layers of denim did about 12 inches/.63.

From the same gun the CorBon DPX (115g at 1310 fps) did 15/.58.

The FD and DPX seem to do a little better at penetration/expansion than the EMB/QD/PEP loads, are only a little slower from the same pistols.

The Europeans seem to want between 8-12 inches of penetration w max energy transfer. The FBI wants at least 12 inches, discounts energy transfer completely.
