Being a handloader and caster, I have a S&W 1917, load is a BHN8 200gr SWC at 700fps.
Fast enough to hurt, soft enough to expand quickly and loose velocity and energy quickly.
I tested it in wet paper at 10 yds, penetration with the load was about 8", I would think this was about as good a compromise as I can manage.
The same load did 910 fps in my 1911, that might be more risky.
