Thank you. I didn't want to engage in the fallacy of appeal to authority, but you're right.

Thank you. I didn't want to engage in the fallacy of appeal to authority, but you're right.
I know you're being facetious TYR, but please use a smiley to indicate that to folks who might not know better.
Also, this is the barrier performance I was talking about:

Do you have a source to support this claim, other than the company's own marketing materials? Otherwise it sounds like:
"But they're magic beans!"
"How do you know?"

ARX is terrible after barriers. It shatters easily. Even fragments in bare gel sometimes. The penetration is a result of the low sectional density, not the magical faerie flutes. The "damage" seen in...
ARX and Lehigh Extreme Defender/Pretender/etc are gimmick BS. They perform exactly as you should expect for a light, relatively fast solid.

What do you mean by "effectively"?

I don't know.
I apologize. That's not exactly what I meant. I think it would be a decent load for large animal defense. I meant that it didn't work as designed. A heavier wad cutter might be even better for large...
Denim shouldn't have any effect on expansion of a soft point.

The sectional density of the .44 is .177 and the sectional density of the 10mm is .178 so yeah, they should compare well. Obviously, the larger one can cut a bit wider path. Both should be decently...
That's absolutely correct. I'm retarded. Don't know why I said that.

People have been asking for an ARX barrier test for quite some time. Here it is.
Thank you.
Kevlar (aramid) is UHMWPE, isn't it?
One of the most important parts of a successful defense is to reduce the number of "ifs" involved.
My pleasure.
LOL. :D
Nailed it. Even then, it might not do the trick. There are plenty of anecdotal reports of failed suicides with bird shot.
