How fat of a person do you intend on shooting?

Quoted:
I have a Makarov and a P64 on the way, and plan to carry at least one of them. However none of the hollow point ammo I see tested consistently penetrate past 9 or 10 inches. The Hornady XTP, Critical Defense, the Silver Bear hollow points are the ones I've seen. They penetrate decently and expand through 4 layers of denim, but not in bare gel. And that's more clothing than most people wear here for most of the year. Does anyone know of a consistent performing 9x18 load? Or should I just stick with FMJ? I know Underwood has a hard cast flat nose +p load. That may be my only option. Someone enlighten me. Before ammo, get a set of Wolff replacement sprigs. They once had sets to reduce the DA trigger pull. |

Most of the options y'all have listed so far don't seem to penetrate far enough in bare gel. I'm not super comfortable with 7 inches of penetration.

I carry a CZ-82 in 9 Mak and use Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
The hog I shot with it died just fine. |

I think my Glock 19 is lighter loaded than my Makarov.

I think I have Blazer aluminum with hollow points. Not from this century.
I am sure that is better than all the actual Tula I have in brown cardboard 8 packs
