no problem, have been looking for a video like this for awhile as most people thing 9mm and .40 are the better penetrators and that .45acp being subsonic is not, but I figured it would.

They did the same test with the 9mm. At 440 yds it went through the 3/4" plywood and the 2X4. A .22LR went through a 1/2" board at 440 yds.

I like all the cartridges too, but .45acp can't, just can't be beat in my opinion. Hands down my favorite pistol cartridge...(that reminds me, I need a Glock 21 in my lock up)

That's the problem with the 45ACP, it spoils me for all other pistol cartridges.

I got a G21 gen4 and it feels like shooting a 9mm. Its very smooth, the best glock I have ever owned for sure.

I also like Hickocks video that shows different calibers hitting a swinging steel plate.

Also tried at that distance and it was very much artillery haha.

So basically no difference between 9mm and .45 ACP at 440 yds in terms of penetration? Then one should probably look into speed and trajectory and weight of ammo to carry.

The weight of the 230gr bullet makes for much more knock down power.

Hmmm,, saw a guy shot with a 45 2 weeks ago. Shot within 2 feet. In the back,went thru the liver, n stopped just an inch before exiting his abdomen. He's fine. Gang banger lived!
Shoot anyone else in the ankle or wrist,, they die!

I stand corrected. Well it could kill, guess that's proof that there is no such thing as a one shot stopper when it comes to handgun ammo.
