I have never been impressed with ΔE15/EKE or P[I], as they are pretty inaccurate as a measure of wounding effects in living tissue.

Nope. M855A1 has not consistently demonstrated "match" accuracy in any valid multi-shot, multi-group testing I have seen to date.
I've directly seen lives saved by an activated safety on a handgun, so ya, I am in favor of an engaged safety for an exposed duty pistol. Yet despite that preference, I now carry a G19--because it...
If I was stuck in a locale which fully prohibited standard capacity magazines, I would be tempted to go with 45 Auto. Heavy .45 projectiles tend to punch through bone and glass better than 9mm--if...
Perhaps that is because such behavior de rigueur in some circles and sadly did not cause any outcry....
What Erick and TGS have written above is right on target so to speak.
It is easy to stop 7.62 M80 ball and 7.62x39mm ball; harder to stop M193 and M855. M855A1 and M80A1 are substantially more...
Regarding terminal ballistics, read all of Dr. Fackler's papers, all the journals of the IWBA, as well as any FBI-BRF and JSWB-IPT documents you can locate.
You might also discover a few things...
.44 Mag is versatile and effective, especially out of rifle barrel....
They all poke holes in things and don't do great against intermediate barriers.
Pick the system that is most reliable, that you will train with, and that you are most accurate with.

Hmmm.....so a bullet intended to improve intermediate barrier capabilty and penetrate on the deeper end of the FBI 12-18" spectrum sometimes does not deform as much as projectiles designed for...
Please.....
This was studied extensively at the Letterman Army Institute of Research by Dr. Fackler in the late 1980's.
In addition, Dr. Lattimer's work was concordant with the LAIR findings....
Correct. Think about this carefully.....
Good commentary KevH!
180gr .40S&W offers good intermediate barrier capability coupled with reasonable magazine capacity in a service pistol--something not available in other service pistol...
Yup, this has occurred many times; we actually got quite a lot of M855A1 this way prior to COVID.
Better accuracy and Law of war legal OTM, when a JSP is not.
Dang....I have not had a Wilson in many years; looks like I'll have to get one now to support their doing the right thing.
Chris Billings had developed two different designs to limit buckshot pellet pattern dispersion.
-- The Precision buckshot load (used by SJPD) had the pellets completely encapsulated in a resin...
Both the Federal Flight Control and Hornady VersaTite use the same licensed version of the original Choke shot spread reducing wad. I wish Choke still made their ammo directly, as it seemed to have...
There is much truth regarding this issue of micro TBI effects from blast and pressure. As much as I don't like the NYT these days, I am glad there is some light getting shed on this tragedy....
Once again, Molon hits a homerun--well done!

I've got a very low round count LAV customized SA 1911 that will be going for sale shortly, if someone wants it.
