I had the bug to crony some 9MM +P+.
The pistols used where the Beretta 92A1, Sig P226, Glock 19, S&W M&P9c, and the Kahr MK9. I also included some Speer 124+P Gold Dots and Winchester 124 ball white box for comparison. Beretta 92A1 4.9in Barrel.

Here is another surprise. Magtech 115gr +P+. This was another one I was expecting low penetration with the bullet fragmentation. The bare gel penetrated 13.5 (left) and the heavy clothing shot went 12.5.

Keep up the good work, this is actual science that is much appreciated. |

Here is what I used. As far as I can tell it’s just their standard JHP. BTW it has a huge muzzle flash.
