As many have noted in other threads, the 147 grain loadings lose less, percentage wise, than lighter bullets when fired from shorter barrels.
    Cool. I've already decided that my next j-frame will be an LCR, so I might just go ahead and get the 9mm.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    This is a good link that has 9mm SD ammo ( some 147gr) tested out of a S&W compact

    Are there any LE/Military agencys that use "clear jell" to choose ammunition?

    If not perhaps we shouldn't either?

    Possibly the opposite, I see clear gel results that appear to be much better than the results listed by HST and Gold Dot on their website.

    One has been correlated with living animal and human tissue; one has not.
