I watched this video, paying close attention to 2:55 to 4:15.

I understand that shooting multiple projectiles per shot in public is not a good idea...

I was in your shoes about 12 years ago. A P226-40 was my first hand gun. I still have it - my nightstand gun. It's a great weapon.

But as a civilian living in a tropical climate...

Absolutely true.

TNOutdoors9 had to dramatically tweak the consistency of SIM-TEST in order to replicate the results he had seen in 10% Ordinance gel.

He's done a good job of finding the...

Clear Ballistics Gel has now been tested against true 10% Ordinance Gel. See the video below.

The findings are that for BBs, the 2 are virtually identical. Hollowpoints penetrate 5% more in...

Very much like the Rohrbaugh sights. The trigger has been improved for 2013 as well. The hammer is more precocked, resulting in a shorter pull and crisp break that comes a little quicker than...

In case y'all didn't know, the LCP has improved sights for 2013.

I'm half blind and hadn't shot in months, but here's a couple of targets from my first couple of range trips with my new LCP. The...

From Bear Creek Holsters. This is 2 pieces, screwed together. You can take the back flap off and use the holster in your front pocket. I prefer to keep the back flap on and wallet carry. Works...

Thanks. Here's a couple of videos that convinced me about Wilson Combat ammo QC. They visually inspect every round before it goes out. They started their ammo business in 2010.

I know some people who like the Girsan's.

Dragging up an old post . . .

I recently purchased a Ruger LCP for wallet carry in a Recluse or Bear Creek holster. I find I often have one unused back pocket while my front pockets are filled...

I have nothing but praise for the XDS45.

And I can understand why those who like the XDS45 would be attracted to the XDS9. Good luck to you.

PS If thin is more important than weight for...

They won't take a phone order for parts without a serial number. So you have to mail in this form. The small rubber boot grip is part number 5-20880 with a cost of $9.

They charge $8.75...

If you get the P2000SK 40S&W, you can get a 357Sig conversion barrel for it.

I know Doc concluded long ago that there is not much difference ballistically between the Gold Dot 125 gr 357Sig and...

I'm not sure about Sig's recent quality, but the P226-9mm is legendary for its reliability. It's offered in SAO.

I have an 11 oz 342PD. I recently put a Taurus 850 grip on the gun. Here's an example of what it looks like on a Taurus revolver:

I trust my life with a Kahr P9 Covert. It's a discontinued model. It was the most concealable Kahr made until the PM9 was introduced.

It has the barrel & slide length and recoil system of a P9,...

Except it weighs 1.5 ounces more because they simply thickened the barrel to reduce the bore and keep the same frame.

The XDS45 was a home run. Finally a legit competitor to the Kahr PM45.

Thank you very much Doc! Makes sense.

BTW I stumbled across something else interesting recently: the 1987 FBI Wound Ballistics Workshop!

Do you or any forum members have any insight on how...

Doc,

I'm just trying to understand your criteria behind statements such as:

Round A exhibits adequate penetration and expansion for law enforcement use;

or

Round B exhbits unacceptable...

Hi Doc

I've followed you from the Tactical Forum days 10+ years ago. Thanks for all your hard work in the ballistics arena!

Preamble: I know penetration (and placement) is paramount. Here's...
