And the only thing that makes a 9 mm round "penetrating" is a Full

An interior wall? Two layers of sheetrock? You need some hands on
experience.


I think you have fallen prey to anti-gun rantings.

The fact is that the impact of a 9mm bullet --at muzzle velocity -- is
equal to a *one pound* weight dropped from a height of 5.96 feet
(achieving a velocity of 19.6 fps) or a ten pound weight dropped from
a height of 0.72 inches (yes, that's 3/4 of an inch!)

Sorry, but that's not a whole lot of power.

As I said before -- a handgun is what you use to fight your way to
your long gun.

You don't know much about gun fights either, do ya?
