This is a very good read on firearms:

ocgso, I just wanted to let you know (you might already know) that the Hornady Critical Defense will not penetrate ... very well ...
... I liked his premise of the psychological stop vs the physical stop. ....
Forgive the snip.
This is actually a selling point for the defensive load. It would be hard to picture a legitimate self-defense scenario that has me shooting at an attacker who is behind cover.
Police are the ones much more likely to need something like the newer breed of bonded stuff. They are far less concerned with overpenetration than we are.
Of course, what do I use? .45 ACP FMJ. I never have to worry about my 1911 shooting different kinds of ammo to different places or with questionable reliability. And it's already leaving the muzzle at the diameter of an expanded .38/9mm.
